Shan Stew Dopeaza

Stew Do Piaza Curry, also known as Chicken Do Piaza Curry, is a popular South Asian dish that originated in Pakistan and India. It is a flavorful and aromatic dish that features tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich, spicy gravy with lots of onions.

To make chicken do piaza curry, chicken is first marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices like ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The chicken is then pan-fried until it is browned and cooked through. In a separate pan, onions are sautéed until they are caramelized and golden brown. Then, a blend of tomatoes, chili peppers, and additional spices is added to the onions and cooked until it forms a thick, rich gravy. The chicken is then added to the gravy and simmered until it is fully coated in the sauce and cooked through.

The dish is typically garnished with fresh coriander leaves and served with rice or naan bread. The name "do piaza" means "two onions," as the dish traditionally calls for the onions to be added twice during cooking. This dish is known for its bold flavors and is a delicious option for those who enjoy spicy and savory dishes.
