    Bhindi Do Pyaza, Stir fried okra

    January 5, 2021 by Raks Anand Leave a Comment / Jump to Recipe

    Bhindi do pyaza is a okra dish prepared with lots of onion, hence the name. This simple subji goes well with roti or rice. Quick video, step by step photos.

    bhendi-do-pyaza

    I have tasted Bhindi Do Pyaza couple of times in restaurants. For a long time, I thought this is named so because we have to use two types of onion.

    That is large onion and small onion combined, as I have read it in chef Sanjeev Kapoor's website. Some how, I have not tried this so far properly referring a recipe.

    Today finally made it and just loved it. The term Do Pyaza' means 'Double the onion' used.

    Preparation

    Bhindi (okra) is first sauteed in generous oil to remove slime nature. Then toss with lots of onion and all the usual subji spice powders, along with tomato. The dish should be retaining the onion's crunchiness for best results.

    FAQs

    Can I not add small onions?
    Yes, you can just use 2 cubed large onions.

    It looks too oily, can I reduce oil?
    Yes, though reducing too much oil can make the bhindi do pyaza slimey. It's the oil we add makes it easy and quick, by removing the sticky nature. So minimum 2 tablespoons needed for the dish in total.

    Variations

    There can be many variations in this Bhindi do pyaza recipe, just keeping the concept of adding double the onions.

    Use 2 large onions instead of using shallots. Also, make it as semi gravy/ masala by adding water or curd to coat the bhindi.

    Add a teaspoon of Ginger garlic paste in place of ginger. Avoid the Spice powders totally, temper with just few red chillies.

    Since this tastes best when the bhindi and onion are crunchy, I suggest to make it and consume when hot.

    But, tastes good even in room temperature, no worries. Consume within a day, fresh, I would not suggest refrigerating.

    Notes

    • Do not over cook onion or bhindi.
    • Using generous oil helps in bhindi not becoming slimey.
    • Never chop bhindi when it is wet. No water content should be there to avoid the stickiness.
