Ladies Finger Soup - Okra Soup

Okra or Ladies finger is a good source of folate and fibre...Also contains vitamins ca dn B6,Thiamin..Used largely in soups and stews as thickeners..It has a glutinous consistency and that is a drawback...It is low in fat and calories as well..Not my favorite veggie!!Soup made with this veggie is really good...Here goes the recipe...

Ingredients:

Ladies finger/Okra:5

Tomato:3/4

Green chilly:1

Pepper powder:1/4 tsp

Salt to taste

Onion:1,medium

Cumin:1/4 tsp

Oil:1/2 tsp

Preparation:

Clean the okra and chop them in to small pieces...

Stir fry them for a while in little oil on medium flame...

Keep them aside...

In a pan saute the chopped onion and tomato along with the jeera/cumin for a while..

Now add salt to taste and pepper powder...

Boil the stir fried okra and the onion and tomato mixture in required amount of water...

Let it cool...

Blend in a blender/mixer...

Ladies finger or Okra soup is ready!!

Enjoy the Okra soup!!

Serve hot!!
