Mushroom Do Pyaza is an aromatic Indian specialty that combines juicy mushrooms and a rich sauce of onions, tomatoes and carefully selected spices.
The name of the dish comes from the characteristic preparation with a double amount of onions - one part is cooked in the sauce, while the other is added later to give the dish a special texture and a sweet note.
Creamy, fragrant and full of authentic flavors, this vegetarian dish goes perfectly with naan bread or basmati rice.
• The word 'do' in Hindi means two and 'pyaza' is derived from the word pyaz, which means onion. The name of the dish literally means "with two onions" or "double onion".
• The specialty of the Do Pyaza dish is that the onion is added in two stages of preparation – first for a rich sauce and then for added texture and mild sweetness.
