Chicken Dopiaza or Do Pyaza

Chicken Dopiaza – How to Make Chicken Do Pyaza

Chicken Dopiaza (Chicken in Mild Onion Curry) in literal translation means chicken in two onions however it’s completely opposite of 2 onions 🙂

What is Chicken Dopiaza – Chicken Do Pyaza?

Dopiaza” actually means double/twice the quantity of onion used in any regular meat dish & added in two stages of the whole process….Phew !!!

So you have lots of onions to peel and cut into long n thin slices 🙂 hopefully without crying.

This dish is very famous for its mild addicting flavor which arises from the combination of the whole spices along with kasoori methi & yogurt.

I’m decorating it with pickled red peppers but that is optional.

 

PSPlease DO NOT:

  • Add tomatoes to this dish as it completely takes away the rich aromatic flavor of onion which is the main ingredient of this whole recipe (DOPIAZA).

 

  • Add any TURMERIC as the gravy takes the color from mixed spices & oil.
