Besan pyaaz ki sabzi is a very popular Indian sabzi recipe – I feel Besan Pyaaz ki Sabji is the finest dish, having gram flour and onion as its main ingredients. I still remember its wonderful aroma when my mother served it to me when I was a kid. To tell you the truth, my mother did not have the slightest idea about this recipe, until she met Mrs Reddy. She was a talented woman in our neighborhood, blessed with culinary skills. It was she, who taught my mother this delectable sabji.

However, to me, it works best as a side dish and tastes great with butter naan or rice. You could either go for the first way or try my way of enjoying this sumptuous recipe.

When I grew up, I learnt it from my mother and today I want to share it with you all. If you are out of vegetable stocks at home, then I would suggest you this recipe. A vegan recipe as we all know, it forms an integral part of our Indian cuisine. The best part about it is that you will be requiring only onion, tomatoes, garlic and coriander leaves for this new fusion! You must be wondering what kind of a recipe is it, considering the technique. To satiate your hunger for knowledge, I would say it is a sauté recipe. My mother has taught me to prepare it by sautéing every ingredient, ensuring medium heat at the time of cooking.
Do you want to know what the key to this recipe is? It is obviously stir-frying the besan until it is fully roasted. I have seen people replacing regular red onions with spring onions, but to me, the former tastes far better than the latter. I am sure this can be a better lunch box recipe for your kids.
This mouth-watering delicacy, as we all know, is hard to resist and we land up spending too much on it at local restaurants. To cut down your costs and provide you with the liberty of trying it out whenever you want, I have listed down the steps to prepare it. I hope to get a better response from my fellow followers.
