I’m sorry if someone already suggested this, but whenever I make okra, I cut it one day ahead and let it dry before cooking it. Takes some planning, but my bendakai kura always comes out crunchy!

Hey,
At my house we love okhra. i am always collecting newer recipes for the same old veggies. i am going to try ur okhra recipe next time.
And yes, eating the gooey or gummy version doesn’t feel right. I tried a different version and have got great results every time. Dry the okhra before cutting. During tadka, add rai, hing, onion and all masalas to the cooked onion. also add the necessary amount of salt to the cooked onions before adding the okhra. Also just 2-3 mins before u turn off the gas, add half a tomato (cut into chunks). this gives the necessary sour taste and also prevents the gummy okhra.

thnks.

Your tips are very useful. They are so important for indian cooking.
My mom grinds coriander along with the chillies and I love that taste. I am going to try cocunut+chillies+coriander.

Thats a good recipe.but do you know how you could get rid of the slime (not the right word though),off okra.I love okra but the slime makes me so not want to do it.
I use frozen okra and really miss the good ones you get in India.but the slime is soo urgh!!
Any suggestion on how to get rid of it will be appreciated.
