Chicken Do Pyaza Recipe

Chicken Do Pyaza has always been charm on dinner table. It is a very popular dish of muslin cuisine. Usually this recipe is inherited in different families. All have their own method of preparing Do Pyaza.

I am following my mom’s recipe here, who was actually a brilliant cook. I have tried Chicken Do Pyaza in many places but none of them could match my Mom’s Do pyaza. For Do Pyaza recipe, she used to use the quantity of onion doubly that of chicken. She used to fry chickens in initial stage that really gives wonderful flavor to the recipe. Although this step is not essential and can be avoided. Here both grated as well as chopped onions are used; this gives wonderful flavor to the recipe. Frying of chicken in initial stage gives additional flavor. Blend of spices like cumin, coriander, red chilli and aniseed are added to the recipe that gives additional flavor to the recipe. A mixture of curd and cream is added for extra richness.

Accompanied with Naan, Sheermal or Tandoori Roti this dish tastes amazingly good. It also goes nice with rice and Mutton Biryani.
