OKRA STEW IN TOMATO SAUCE WITH MEAT

Okra is a one-year-old plant and very healthy. It is a delicacy and specialty, as well as food and medicine. It contains vitamins A and C, iron, calcium and starch, lowers fat, lowers blood sugar, helps asthmatics and it's a good aphrodisiac. Okra is often usually combined in gjuvech and turlitava because it gives special taste to these dishes.
