Mushroom Do Pyaza is a flavorful and rich North Indian dish where mushrooms are cooked with double the amount of onions. The name “Do Pyaza” literally means “double onions.” In this recipe, onions are used in two ways: some are finely chopped to form the base of the gravy, and others are sliced or cubed to add texture and flavor. The mushrooms are sautéed until they absorb the aromatic spices and then simmered in a thick, tangy tomato-based gravy, making it a hearty dish. This recipe is perfect for serving with warm naan, roti, or steamed rice.
