Bhindi, a versatile ingredient in Indian cuisine, is savoured in various dishes, including masala bhindi and stuffed bhindi. However, many have encountered the issue of bhindi turning sticky and slimy during preparation. If you've faced this challenge, it's time to learn a useful workaround to fully enjoy your favourite sabzi.
Chef Pankaj Bhadouria has shared a practical hack to prevent bhindi, or okra, from becoming sticky while cooking. In her video, she suggests adding lemon juice into the preparation process to counteract stickiness.
The introduction of acidic elements helps diminish the stickiness. These acids react with the mucilage's compounds, aiding in their breakdown and resulting in a less slimy end product.
Bhadouria's tip guarantees that bhindi maintains its desired texture and flavor, making it an invaluable technique for anyone preparing this beloved vegetable.
