By Mutton Do Pyaza (Gosht Dopiaza) is a scrumptious Indian mutton preparation, loaded with onions and hosts of aromatic spices; full of mouth watering spicy goodness. A total delight for all mutton lovers!
As you know by now that my parents are visiting us and just 2 days back my little sister flew from New York to spend time with us. We are having the time of our life all of us together. Little A is having a blast with his grand parents and masi. Well this won’t last long as sister will be flying back this weekend. So we want to make the most of it. And feed her some amazing food.
She is an ardent meat and fish lover. So wanted to make something intensely flavourful and spicy. And hence made this mutton do pyaza (in my case lamb) for her to enjoy.
“DO” means two and “PYAZA” means onion. Onions are the core ingredient in this mutton do pyaza recipe. It is added twice and double the number. Delicious mutton curry that is cooked with host of aromatic spices and lots of onions that is added to the gravy at two different ways giving it a rich and deep flavours.
For a kg of mutton I used around 8-9 large onions, precisely 10 cups of tightly packed sliced onions. And another ingredient that adds a fantastic flavour is roughly pounded methi seeds(fenugreek seeds). A perfect mutton/lamb curry you can cook during festivals and parties. Let’s see how to make this amazing Mutton Do Pyaza.
