Fast Okra, Bamia, Bhendi

Fast okra
==========
If I said Okra, ladies' fingers, bhendi, bhindi, bamia, ochro or 

gumbo...It means the most mouth-watering dish you can eat 

after a long day at work....perfect for conceiving babies!



whether it is long or short, it has many health

 benefits especially for pregnant woman as it contains high

 doses of vitamin A, B vitamins (B1, B2, B6), vitamin C,

 and traces of both zinc and calcium. It is an ideal vegetable 

to eat for conceiving babies due to folic acid. Needless to

 mention high fiber content in okra as a bounty.

Small middle-eastern okra is preferable though.

=========
1- 500 grams Okra frozen package (or fresh if you have time)

2-2 (two) full cup of tomato sauce ...or a tomato sauce can
