Chicken Do Piyaz Recipe

Chicken Do Piyaz is adaptation of traditional Do Piyaz Mutton Curry. The modern cooking style has been changed to resemble the Bhuna dish
Use of onions is divided. Half the onions are cut into large slices and almost caramelized. The other half is chopped fine and become a part of sauce. At the end the sliced onions are added back in to the dish
I have used chicken breast in this recipe. I have tried this recipe with chicken thighs, some say with even better success.
