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!!

ok, this is one thing I would have never even dreamt of, i.e., having a soup made out of okra, very very unusual, but sounds interesting.
