“Dupiaza” literally means “double onion” in Hindi: our curry uses a double dose, simmered until reaching a sweet-sour, melting texture, seasoned with garlic, ginger and fresh coriander. This north Indian dish wins over with its generosity and balance between sweet caramelised onions and the spiced character of the sauce.
A dish with a story
Dupiaza is a traditional north Indian curry, where onion is used generously both as a sauce base and as a finishing garnish.
Served at family meals, it remains appreciated for its simplicity and deeply savoury flavour from the caramelised onions.
Today found on most Indian restaurant menus, it remains a popular choice for lovers of sweet-bitter flavours.
Some claim the name comes from the weight of onion used (twice the usual amount): an appealing explanation, but not universally confirmed by historians.
