Introduction

The term Do-Pyaza means using twice the normal proportion of onions in two different ways. The sweetness of fried onions along with our special Relish Spice Mix gives this dish a sharp and interesting flavour. Curry King Vinny's recipe of this dish was inspired by a Bengali chef he met on his visit to Calcutta in India.
