Okra is a vegetable that is very slimy so many people does not like to cook.Okra is low in calories and is good for people who prefer to watch their waist line. In Fiji it is available year round and people grow okra in their home garden or on their farms.Okra is rich in vitamin c and very good for pregnant women because it is also rich in folic acid .Okra and potatoes when saute together makes a very tasty dish which can be served with roti, naan, rice and tortilla. Today I have used frozen okra.
