Is your Okra too sticky ??


Okra ( Ladies Finger or Bhindi ) gives off a sticky, slippery substance when cut, which can make the curry slimy.
To avoid the okra curry to turn so slimy, try the following tips :

  • Dry each okra well after washing. There should be no moisture on it. Either wipe each okra with a kitchen napkin, or wash them a day before you want to cook so that they get air dried by the next day.
  • Add 2 drops of either lemon juice or tamarind juice in the okra when you cook.
  • Add salt in the okra curry at the end , i.e after the okra is cooked.

If you know of any other tip, please mention in the comment section.
