Okra, also known as Lady Finger, besides being low in calories, it is packed with vitamins of the category A, Thiamin, B6, C, folic acid, riboflavin, calcium, zinc and dietary fiber. Eating okra is highly recommended for pregnant woman because of its richness in folic acid, which is essential in the neural tube formation of the fetus during 4-12 weeks of gestation period in the mother’s womb.

1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
2 teaspoons tomato paste
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon salt
