Pyaaz ka Bharta / Onion Bharta Recipe

By: Prasanna| Published: 11:34:00 PM


A new post again , with simple recipe ,amazing flavors and wonderful sabji option for vegetarian people - Onion /Pyaaz ka Bharta  / Smoked Onion Sabji.
This goes really well with Roti or even rice. I personally prefer it with roti but you are avoiding wheat then eat with rice too.

Typical bharta means Baingan i.e. Eggplant for all,but sometimes it is good to make something different. Specially, when you have people whom you are going to feed and they are very choosy about what they eat.So instead of putting all the hours in kitchen and finally if food is wiped off the plates then that makes up for all the work.

I thought of making Onion bharta , so I used regular medium sized yellow onions. You can use the red/white onions too.Even shallots/sambhar onions will work fine.
The best smoky flavor is achieved by marinating the onions,and  after that roast directly on flame or use griddle. Even roasting in oven will work fine.

The best part of this dish is it has very basic ingredients for which you do not need to break your piggy bank or change your diet.  Another interesting part is that many people avoid including onions in their diet as the raw and sometimes cooked onion too leaves an aftertaste,but in this recipe because you roast the onions so they get a nice sweet flavor.

Mondays are usually gloomy for me,as after the weekend ,no one is in a mood to get up from bed and start working. Plus making a menu for a vegetarian day is another tension as I have to make sure that I cook something that is eaten by all and but still my kids defeat me in this area.

This bharta was enjoyed by us elders,and was over in no time. Do try this recipe even for breakfast and you wont be regretting. Tastes wonderful with HOT phulkas. I have already shared on my blog recipe of  Dhaba Style Baingan Bharta,Chicken Bharta recipes. I will be updating those recipes too with new pictures so pardon the old pictures right now.But the recipes are worth the try.
