Hello,
I saw few recipes adding yogurt to the okra. It is to make the okra crispy and not slimy. Do you think I could add yogurt to this recipe to make it crispier or I could just exactly follow your recipe here? Kindly advise me 🙂
And thank you a lot for the awesome recipes. I am getting quite famous in here because of you. For a person who never cooked over decade, I am doing pretty well. Thank you a lot.
Hi Thurgahvarushini,
Thank you for your kind words. Yes. Adding little curd or lemon juice remove the slimy from the okra. But it depends on the variety of okra. I mostly use fresh tender okra and I do not find any problem in making the okra crispy. However, if you feel to add curd, then please add it and no harm in it.
