Chicken Dopiaza

Its been almost a month since I made a decent chicken curry... well excluding the butter chicken for the little Miss but that doesn't really count as a decent chicken curry ... Anyways, last weekend, I made this for our Sunday lunch. This is a great restaurant style curry. I loved that the gravy was thick, so its perfect to scoop up with some naan or roti
It's also not high on the spice level, soooo perfect for the little ones. I thought the 2 chiles will kick up the heat, but the yogurt helped to balance it all
And oh if you are wondering what's with the fancy name for this curry. Dopiaza means 'onion twice' in urdu and refers to the large quantity of onion used in this curry

Welcome to my Blog The Eaterspot. My blogging journey began in March 2010. I had just relocated from the US, and living in Wellington, New Zealand was definitely a whole lot different from the US. The day after I landed here, I began a full time job, but I still had a whole lot of free time after 5pm. I was cooking a lot of new dishes from various cuisines so the blog was born to document my cooking for my friends and family to follow what we are upto as a newly married couple and to see what we were eating!Thanks for visting my spot!
