Gosht Do Piaza A Hearty Popular Lamb Stew
From vindee 16 years ago
- 25 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Dopiaza, Dopyaza "Do" is "two" and "piaz" is "onion"; so dopiaza is a dish which has twice the amount of onions, usually added in two stages. Different regions have different versions, some as far as from Bengal. Read more This is my mother's version from North India. A beautiful blend of flavours; a hint of the sweetness of onions, & the warmth of garam masalas giving it depth. Keep it as hot or as mild as you like. A simple stew , 'grindless', & perfect for even a one dish winter meal. See less
