Onion Curry or Dahi Pyaz ki Sabzi is a rustic and flavorful dish that is commonly seen as part of the spice-rich cuisine of Rajasthan. Made primarily with onions as the star ingredient, this curry transforms simple kitchen staples into a hearty and satisfying delicacy.

This curry is especially popular in arid regions where fresh vegetables were historically scarce. It is best enjoyed with hot bajra roti, chapati or pulao. This onion curry is simple yet flavourful that delivers a bold taste with every bite. Ever since I saw this recipe in a TV show, it's been one my go to side dish with chapati.
