Lady's Finger Curry

            This recipe is a very simple and normal curry recipe which we cook regularly. But I just want to share the experience with u all. Generally, Lady's Finger has an another name called "Okra". This vegetable is very good for Diabetic.
            Since when I was pregnant, I had Gestational Diabetic. Doctor suggested me to have this vegetable. My Sugar level was above normal. But after having this, the level came down and it became normal. And I want to give some Tips also.
            If you wash and soak the okra in the night time and take out the vegetable, then have that water in the morning in empty stomach after brushing your teeth. The water will be somewhat viscous. Your diabetic level will decrease soon and moreover, it is good for health, and it will reduce the body weight.

Ingredients:

Okra or Lady's Finger - 1 Kg.
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Asafoetida - a pinch
Salt to taste
Chilli Powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp

Method:

1. Wash the vegetable, and wipe it off with clean towel. Then cut into pieces.
