How to prevent Bhindi from turning slimy?
I am mentioning some of the tips below which would prevent bhindi from turning slimy:
- First, always wash and rinse the bhindi. After that clean and dry it with a kitchen towel. Then you can cut it into pieces.
- Never cover cooking vessel for too long while making bhindi recipe. If you will cover it for a long time then it will turn slimy.
- Always clean knife after chopping few ladyfingers.
- For reducing the sliminess of bhindi always add sour ingredients like lemon juice, dry mango powder (amchur), tomatoes, and tamarind paste.
In which shape we need to chop okra and onion?
You can chop bhindi and onion in any shape you like.
I have cut bhindi in slight diagonally in around half-inch piece and roughly chopped the onions.
I would suggest chopping the vegetables in the way so that the dish looks good after preparing.
For faster chopping, dicing and slicing work. Use the below chopper. I also use this chopper. You will get free peeler with a grater with this.
Is Bhindi good for health?
Yes, definitely Bhindi is a very healthy food. You will get potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, folic acid and calcium from it.
It helps in managing the blood sugar level. It is also high in fibre and protein.
