Bhindi do Pyaaza

Published on September 18, 2015 by

  

This is my personal take on this preparation! I swear! 😀

Do pyaza is a combination of words that practically means twice the onions. A dish that is prepared with twice the amount of onions than the main ingredient.

I often make okra or bhindi for dinner with onions and family loves it. Addition of fennel seeds powder and amchur (dry mango powder) creates a great symphony with onions.
  

Cooking onions in oil till it browns and cramalizes and then spicing up & tossing with cut okra, cook further more till it is evenly done! Let’s focus on the recipe which is totally hassle free.

Taking it to Angie’s Fiesta Friday, co-hosted by  Aunt Juju and Quinn!

This is how I made it!

2. Cooking onions in less oil – There is a trick to cooking onions on less oil. Once you add the onions to the oil, increase the heat to medium. Sauté for 2 minutes. Now put the lid on the pan and let it cook on lower heat for another 2 minutes. It will get slightly steamed and still not raw. It will Leave slight water too. Take the lid off. Sauté the onions for another 3 minutes on medium flame. In this process, the onions are cooked and slightly caramelized too. Alternately, you may use more oil and cook the traditional way too.

    Since my trip to New Orleans I have been using okra in my cooking. I love it and have had no problems with it being slimy. Double the onions – you got my attention. Thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday.

    It looks incredible and I echo Angie, doesn’t look at all slimy. Now that is a great meal. I had a handful of pretzels.

    How is it that your okra can look so amazingly delicious and not at all slimy? My mouth is actually watering right now even though I just had dinner (fast food popcorn chicken, boo hoo). I need to cook okra more often. I’m so fascinated by it and actually planted a few plants but never harvested the fruit pods, duh! They do look pretty, though. I’ve bought hing and amchur but not ajwain (need to google). Can I just omit?
