In India, do (pronounced ‘dough’), means two and pyaza is onion. Do pyaza refers to the onions being used in two ways. Diced onions are first fried with spices and then larger pieces of onions are added at the end to give a spicy dish which is also sweet from the onions. The pyaza style of cooking can be used for mutton, lamb, goat, beef, fish and veg dishes.
