BHINDI DO PYAZA

Description

A popular dish in Delhi and North Indian cuisine, Bhindi Do Pyaza is a unique and flavorful preparation where okra (bhindi) is cooked with twice the amount of onions (do pyaza), giving it a distinct sweetness and crunch. This dish is widely loved for its rich texture, bold flavors, and perfect balance of spices.

The dish starts with sliced onions and okra stir-fried in mustard oil or ghee, followed by the addition of ginger, garlic, green chilies, and tomatoes for a hint of tanginess. It is seasoned with cumin, coriander powder, turmeric, garam masala, and a touch of amchur (dry mango powder), which enhances the flavors and adds a subtle tang. The onions are added in two stages—first to form the base and later to provide a crunchy texture.

Best served with roti, paratha, or dal-rice, Bhindi Do Pyaza is a popular choice in homes, dhabas, and restaurants across North India. This dish is perfect for those who enjoy the unique combination of caramelized onions and tender, spiced okra in every bite!
