MUSHROOM DO PYAZA RECIPE

Mushroom do pyaza is a wonderful and delicious North Indian cuisine. It is a semi dry dish made with lots of onions and paired with mushroom. The masalas added into the dish are very simple and easily available at our kitchen.

This semi dry mushroom dish is called do pyaza because of its cooking technique. While cooking the dish, we add onions twice in the gravy - both at different stages.

Mushroom do pyaza can be served with all Indian breads like roti, parantha, naan, kulcha or chapati and it also goes well with rice, jeera rice or peas pulao.
