 Dopiaza/ Dopyaza  is a onion lovers curry. It literally means double onion curry. (Hindi Do: two, pyaz: Onion). The base of all dopiazas is onion paste. A variety of onions can be used (shallots, Spanish red onions, white onions etc).  These can be boiled, stir fried, fried or grilled and then blended to a paste. A second dose of chopped onions is added halfway during cooking. This Mogul curry is usually cooked with a variety of meats. But vegetarian versions are delicious too.. The spirit of this curry is that it is packed with onions, is rich, and is mildly spiced . In this broad framework, try out fusion Dopyazas using stir fried tofu  or with unusual flavourings like vanilla or with a variety of other meats / vegetables from across the world. Being a Mogul curry, it uses the choicest cuts of meat and expensive flavourings.
