Some dishes were family favourites in restaurants . Some of them still continue to rule the roost but some unfortunately got edged out by more contemporary dishes and fancy names. Chicken Do Pyaza was one such favourites around the 70s. A delectable chicken gravy , gets its name from the fact that onions are used two ways. Adding onions at different stages of cooking gives a different flavour and texture to a dish. This can be replicated with paneer or even raw jackfruit and it tastes just as delicious.
I have used 1 kg chicken, cut in biryani size pieces. 2 onions finely chopped , 2 onion thickly sliced , 1/2 cup yoghurt, Mix together 2 tsp each ginger paste and garlic paste, juice of 1 lemon , salt to taste. Marinate the chicken in this paste. Heat oil in a kadhai ( I like using mustard oil for this recipe, you need to heat the mustard oil till smoking point) Add in 4 cloves, 2 tej patta, 2 X 1 inch pieces of cinnamon and 2 brown cardamom. Add chopped onions and fry till golden brown. Add in the sliced onions and marinated chicken . Roast till it dries out. Add in red chilli powder, turmeric powder , corriander powder and garam masala. Add a large pinch of green cardamom powder. Put in 1 cup thick yoghurt. salt to taste. Cover and cook till done.
