Notes
- To avoid bhindi turning slimy , dry / wipe the bhindi properly after washing . If the bhindi is wet , subzi will turn slimy .
- If you have time , after chopping the bhindi , its better to keep in fridge for about 1-2 hours . This will help in reducing sliminess more.
- Fry the subzi nicely on medium heat to avoid sliminess . Don't add salt initially . Add it mid .
- If you want , initially only while roasting bhindis ; add amchoor powder . Addition of tanginess reduces sliminess
- Don't cut oil quantity . Bhindi typically reuires oil to get a nice crispiness . In restuarants , they deep fry bhindis while making this dish .
- If you find the bhindi and onion is sticking to the kadai , add some more oil .
- Tender fresh bhindi taste best for this dish .
