Bhindi Pyaz (Okra Stew)

Bhindi Pyaz (Okra Stew)

The things I hated about it, like the texture, the small seeds, and the insane amount of onions, are all things I absolutely love now. In fact, I'm the one who adds extra onions. Bhindi Pyaaz is also known as Bhindi do Pyaaza, meaning bhindi and two onions...I used to hate Bhindi Pyaaz (directly translated to Okra Onions) growing up. The things I hated about it, like the texture, the small seeds, and the insane amount of onions, are all things I absolutely love now. In fact, I'm the one who adds extra onions. Bhindi Pyaaz is also known as Bhindi do Pyaaza, meaning bhindi and two onions. And as I have recently come to know, it's because you add half the onions at the end, so they stay crunchy.

Honey Butter Roasted Vegetables

Adding the honey into the butter marinade brings out even more flavor.

Enchiladas are a family favorite. I'm glad they are because they're so easy to make, but that's not the only reason I love them. They combine all my favorites, soft tortillas, a zesty filling and a whole lotta cheese. I have a chicken version of Enchiladas up on the blog already, and they are amazing in their simplicity, but there's something about these veggie enchiladas. The earthy notes balanced out with spicy jalapeños. A cooking creamy tomato sauce and the perfect amount of bubbling cheese studded with green onions. It's beautiful. (This can easily be made gluten free by using corn tortillas)...
