Bhindi Do Pyaza | Bhindi Masala | Lady Finger Curry
Bhindi do pyaza or Bhindi masala is cooked in onion paste and onion slice. The recipe contains a double amount of onion than ladyfingers and that's why this is known as Bhindi do pyaza. This is a famous North Indian dish especially belongs to Punjabi Cuisine. It's popular in dhabas and restaurants. With tandoori roti or naan it goes really well. So whenever I make bhindi do pyaza, I make tandoori roti to accompany it.
Variety of bhindi recipe
With bhindi, you can make regular stir-fried bhindi or combine them with potatoes and make aloo bhindi fry as sides. Combine it with curd and tampering to make dahi bhindi. Stuff them with spice mix and saute as bharwa bhindi. Cut them and mix with flour lightly and then deep fry to make kurkuri bhindi. You can make many other dishes from this super cute and green vegetable. But since this is slimy in texture, you
How to cut and cook bhindi or ladyfinger?
While making any recipe of bhindi you need to make sure that the bhindi is dry else this will be mushy and slimy. For that reason wash and clean the okra well in advance and pat dry with help of kitchen towel and then saute it. If you are making bhindi or okra in gravy base then first saute them and then add to the gravy for best results.
In this recipe, I have taken both sliced onions and onion paste to give it a dhaba or restaurant-style texture and taste. You can also use only sliced onions to the recipe. If you are taking 250 gms ladyfinger, then you have to go for 500 gms onion for best result. So you can decide how much you want in sliced form or in paste form. What I have done in this recipe, I have taken 2 onions sliced & 3 for onion paste.
