This chicken dopiaza curry is the perfect way to spice up your dinner time. This is a classic Indian dish. Dopiaza means ‘double onions’ and this sweet curry kicks off with a big batch of caramelised onions, to which fragrant spices and marinated chicken are added, all cooked until perfection.
Finish off this easy curry recipe with a helping of fresh coriander and a side of perfectly cooked rice for a satisfying supper. An easy onion and tomato-based curry with medium heat and delicious, sweet notes from caramelised onions. Serve with cooked basmati rice or parathas.
I have many chicken curry recipes on my food blog ranging from butter chicken to chicken jalfrezi to chicken chana. This is another classic Indian dish that is very popular.
The name refers to the two ways onions are used in this dish. Do pyaza means ‘two onions’. The first two onions are caramelised and form a part of the curry sauce. The remaining onion has its layers pulled apart and then is cut into chunks before being added near the end.
This chicken curry recipe is less spicy compared to other chicken curries like my chicken tikka masala recipe. This is a truly authentic Indian restaurant-style dish, and it is perfect for beginner chefs.
I like to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. The longer you leave it, the better it is as it allows for the chicken to tenderise and the flavours to develop. A good idea is to mix the chicken marinade the night before. This saves a lot of time as well.
