Key ingredients
Okra, vinegar, water, garlic, salt, pickling spices (e.g., dill, black peppercorns, bay leaf).

Say this to the waiter (Armenian)
Բամյա աղցանի համար խնդրում եմ հաստատել, որ թթվի ջրի մեջ շաքարավազ չկա։
For the Bamya Aghdjan, please confirm there is no sugar in the pickling brine.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in industrial or non-traditional pickling brines. Okra itself contains natural carbohydrates.
