Instant Pot Mushroom Do Pyaza
Instant Pot Mushroom Do Pyaza
Do Pyaza means “two onions,” and so if you see these words in the name of a dish, then you can expect there to be plenty of onions in the recipe. Not only does this recipe call for lots of onions, it also calls for preparing the onions two different ways: caramelizing the onions and stir-frying them. If you love mushrooms and onions, you will love this dish!

Notes
*Roasted cumin powder is highly aromatic and has a more intense flavor than regular (unroasted) cumin. Do not substitute this with regular cumin as you won’t get the right favor.
To make roasted cumin powder: heat a skillet over low heat and dry roast cumin seeds (I usually do 1 cup) for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the color of the cumin changes to a dark brown. Turn off the heat and allow the cumin seeds to cool down. Place the cumin into a spice grinder and blend until smooth. Store in an airtight jar and use within 6-8 months for the most flavor.
