For a dry-style bhindi masala, slice into even pieces and cook in a broad pan with a little oil and your preferred spices. Avoid crowding the pan and adding unnecessary water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor curries and stews, add the pods and cook until tender; their natural thickening quality will contribute to the sauce. Tomatoes or another acidic ingredient can help reduce the slippery texture. For stuffed bhindi, slit the pods lengthways without cutting them apart, add your chosen spice filling and pan-cook gently until tender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep Okra (Bhindi) refrigerated, protect the pods from excess moisture and wash just before preparing.
