#reststyle - Any curry made in a Do Pyaza style comes out real yummy and superb. So do try this amazing Bhindi Do Pyaza with lots of onion, hence the name. It is an easy and a simple recipe. Make it a bit spicy and chatpata to be relished as a side dish. It is on the dry side and goes well with curd rice, sambar rice, rasam rice, dal chawal (rice & lentil) or with chapati / any Indian bread.
This North Indian delicacy is very popular in many restaurants and dhabas. There are obviously many ways of preparing it, depending on each individual and family. So do try my version, which is a quick recipe and I'm sure you will like it. So Happy Cooking!!!

Note -
1. I have used pani puri masala as I had no chaat masala, but you may add some chaat masala instead.
2. I added store bought fried onions, but you can add some homemade ones if preferred. In that case add some extra oil to the pan and stir fry 1-2 onions till golden brown.
