Mutton Do Pyaza

Mutton Do Pyaza is a flavorful North Indian dish featuring tender mutton cooked with a generous amount of onions and aromatic spices. The name 'Do Pyaza' translates to 'two onions,' highlighting the dual use of onions in both the marinade and as a key ingredient in the cooking process.
