Mushroom Do Pyaza is a savory and flavorful North Indian curry where earthy button mushrooms are cooked with onions used in two different ways. The term 'Do Pyaza' refers to the double addition of onions—once as a finely chopped base and later as large crunchy petals. This semi-dry dish features a spiced tomato-onion masala that perfectly coats each juicy mushroom slice. It offers a wonderful contrast between the soft mushrooms and the sweet, caramelized onions. It is a modern restaurant classic that pairs excellently with tandoori rotis or butter naan for a satisfying vegetarian meal.

Tips & Secrets
- Never soak mushrooms in water as they act like sponges and will become rubbery; always wipe them clean.
- Sautéing the onion petals separately is the key to maintaining the 'Do Pyaza' textural integrity of the dish.
- Use high heat while sautéing mushrooms to ensure they brown quickly without losing too much water.
- Adding a spoonful of fresh cream at the end can provide a lovely richness that complements the earthy mushrooms.
