When buying bhindi, ensure that it is soft and doesn't contain too many seeds. To figure this out, you can lightly press it between your fingers.

Do you start cooking bhindi right after washing? It's time to stop! The slime of bhindi can increase if you don't dry it properly before cooking.

You can also add a bit of curd while sauteing the bhindi. This will help reduce the slime and also give your bhindi a hint of tangy flavour.

Besan also works well to eliminate slime. To use it, add a spoonful to your bhindi at the start and roast with it. This trick works like magic.

While your bhindi is cooking, avoid covering the pan. If you cover it, excessive steam can lead to the build up of moisture.

Salt is known to produce moisture. Therefore, add it near the end of cooking, when the bhindi is nearly done. This will help keep it from sticking.
