Chicken Do Pyaza is a flavorful and aromatic North Indian dish characterized by the use of onions in two distinct stages of cooking. The name 'Do Pyaza' literally means 'double onions,' referring to both the finely chopped onion base and the large crunchy onion petals added at the end. This recipe features succulent chicken pieces simmered in a spicy, semi-dry gravy infused with whole spices and tomatoes. Its taste is a wonderful combination of sweet, savory, and spicy notes with a delightful crunch. This dish is a restaurant favorite, best enjoyed with butter naan or tandoori roti.

Tips & Secrets
- Using onions in two stages is the secret to achieving the signature texture and flavor profile of this dish.
- Do not overcook the onion petals; they should have a slight bite to contrast with the soft chicken.
- Adding a splash of yogurt along with tomatoes can make the gravy richer and more balanced.
- Searing the chicken on high heat initially ensures the meat stays juicy and doesn't become rubbery.
