EASY CHICKEN RECIPES FOR DINNER - CHICKEN DO PYAZA

CHICKEN DO PYAZA/ CHICKEN CURRY RECIPES

Hi, foodies. Welcome to Ayesha's kitchen. Dopiaza / Chicken do pyaza / murgh do pyaza is a delicious South Asian curry dish. Do pyasa means two onions. For this dish, onions are added at two stages during cooking. One while cooking and other for tempering. Hence this dish is named Chicken Do pyaza , '' chicken with two onion". This dish has become the staple dish of Hyderabadi cuisine (you can also check my Hyderabadi dum biryani recipe here ). Like any other Hyderabadi dish, the addition of sour agent is the key part of Dopiaza Curry. Raw mangoes are often used for this purpose however lemon juice and cranberries can be used as well.
