Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Lahsun Bhindi
- For less slimy okra, you can blanch the okra in boiling water for a minute before adding it to the pan.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. Start with less and add more as needed.
- Don't overcook the okra! Overcooked okra will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garam masala along with the other spices.
