Murgh Do Pyaza Dhaba

🇮🇳 Indian

Chicken do pyaza with onion twice — fried and fresh, the Mughlai house classic. The Sunday-special format that every region does differently. Serve with rice, rotis or buttered pav for the gravy.

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
