Directions
Ever wondered how to recreate your favourite Indian Restaurant or takeaway Dopiaza in your Ninja Speedi. This guide will show you how to get exactly the same fantastic results from scratch at home using only your Ninja Speedi
Immerse yourself in the delightful fusion of flavours with my Chicken Dopiaza, a dish that combines the richness of succulent chicken with a double the dose of onions. Rooted in the culinary traditions of India, this recipe promises a symphony of tastes that will captivate your palate.
Tender chicken pieces enveloped in a velvety sauce crafted from a blend of aromatic spices, and caramelized onions. The caramelized onions contribute a sweet depth that balances the tanginess.
The unique twist in my Chicken Dopiaza lies in the double onion treatment. Sautéed onions in the sauce bring a rich sweetness, while additional air fried petals of onion are added last, providing a crisp texture that elevates each mouthful. This dual onion approach creates a dynamic interplay of flavours and textures, making every bite a harmonious delight.
This dish is an exploration of contrasts, offering a perfect balance of tangy, and sweet notes that showcase the culinary diversity of India.
Prepare to embark on a flavourful journey with my Chicken Dopiaza, a dish that marries tradition with innovation, creating a culinary experience that is both comforting and intriguing.
