I am sure we did an okra thread before.
Anyhow, if you are one of the peeps who use okra in your cooking, how do you reduce the 'sliminess' when preparing it ?
Soaking in vinegar beforehand?
Adding lemon juice to cooking water?
Cooking them whole?
Pre-grill them and then add them to the dish?
Help

This is blu... she never gets along with anyone :erm:
@Blu. I believe you need to wash them whole and then pat them dry before cutting.

It was a blatant rip-off of Murray's title too
you see it as well
and she says "I am sure we did an okra thread before. "

Why was murraybiscuit's thread merged with this one? Should it not be the other way? Surely the title should remain as murraybiscuit's title since his thread existed first?

Jealous bunch. Can rinsing them and patting them dry really reduce the sliminess when they are being cooked?

Ok since we on the topic of bindi, I've been cooking this dish for ~15 years. The right indian way to do it is as follows:
1. Wash and dry bindi thoroughly. Cut them into 1cm circles.
2. Finely chop onions and fry over a liberal quantity of ghee in a hot pan until golden.
3. Add bindi to the pan. Stir occassionally after the bindi begins to shrink and change colour. Add de-seeded dried red chillies and cook for a few more minutes.
4. Add some salt and pepper lastly as this helps to prevent it sticking together or breaking. Most lighties add tomatoes nowdays, so you can try that if you want to experiment.

I always thought they were slimy when you were cleaning/cutting them. Not during cooking
