Peyazkoli Diye Dim



 

I love peyazkoli, it has a certain taste enhancement quality. The scent of fresh peyazkoli is so
invigorating.  These days I am adding it to almost any dish possible, the reason being the easy
availability of fresh peyazkolis in bountiful across the market. The spring onions that are available
round the year are not as sweet-smelling as the ones of winter, smelling of pristine morning dews.
Their freshness infuses life into a dish, lending a beautiful crispness bursting with flavours.
