Bhindi Do Pyaza is a spicy Indian dish made from bhindi (okra) and onions. The words ‘do pyaza’ (‘do’ means two and ‘pyaza’ means onion) mean that double the amount of onions are added in this dish.
This dish not only tastes delicious but is also simple and easy to make. Bhindi do pyaza is quite popular as a restaurant dish.
The use of generous amount of sautéed sliced onions accompanied by tempered spices greatly transforms the taste of fried bhindi (okra) and makes this dish as one of the best bhindi (okra) preparations.
Bhindi do pyaza suits very well as a side dish with rotis or Indian breads and even rice. You can have it with parathas during breakfast or enjoy it during lunch or dinner. This dish goes very well on the side of dal and raitas, specially boondi raita.
