The sliminess of the bhindi can be quite a put-off for many people. To get the stickiness out, follow these steps: 1. Wash the okra thoroughly and drain the water completely. 2. Dry each okra with a kitchen or tea towel. If you have the time, spread them on a large tea towel on your counter and leave them to dry overnight. 3. Chop them as per the requirement of your recipe. Make sure that they are completely dry before to start chopping them. Wipe off any of the slimy juice that may stick to your knife with a kitchen towel. Spread the chopped pieces on a large plate or on a tea towel and let them air dry for 1 to 2 hours. 4. Store them in a food storage bag or container, cover tightly, and store them in the refrigerator. 5. Fry them in adequate oil till they turn golden brown before adding them to the dish.
