Bhindi do pyaza

Bhindi do pyaza is a traditional stir-fried curry based on onions and okra, originating from the northern parts of India. Bhindi means okra, pyaz means onions, and do means twice, referring to double the amount of onions used in the recipe, two types of onions, or adding the onions at two different stages. Although there are variations, the dish is usually made with a combination of okra, onions, oil, hot chili peppers, and ginger. These ingredients are mixed with a masala consisting of oil, cumin, onions, garlic-ginger paste, tomatoes, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander, salt, and fenugreek leaves. This okra and onion curry is simmered until the okra becomes tender. Once done, bhindi do pyaza is usually garnished with coriander leaves, then served hot with jeera rice, roti, chapati, or naan on the side.
