Bharwa Pyaz ki Sabzi

Bharwa Pyaz ki Sabzi with step by step photo and video recipe.

Pyaz or onion is the most common ingredient used in Indian cuisine. It is used for making many sabzi recipes on a daily basis.

Have you ever thought of using onion itself as the star ingredient of your sabzi? The vegetable that helps to enhance the taste of all other sabji, tastes great in itself.

There are various ways pyaz ki sabzi can be prepared. I love this way of stuffing the onions with spices and cook till done.

The sweetness of onions along with the spiciness of chilli powder and other spices make it a perfect blend of flavours.

This sabji of bharwa pyaz goes well with roti, paratha or puri.
