Amazing Enchor Do-Pyaza Recipe is nothing but a kathal or jackfruit curry as mutton do pyaza style. The jackfruit chunks are simmered in a thick gravy made with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and ginger and sometimes added with potatoes finished in a warm, spicy, cumin, coriander flavored sauce.
Do Pyaza is normally prepared using any type of meat or vegetable. Like mutton do pyaza. Here also we used onion in two stages; in stage one onion is finely chopped. When kathal is almost prepared then we use the second stage of onion which is roughly big chunks. As a Bengali here I used potato which makes the gravy much more flavorful, but if want you can skip it.
