Great recipe, but we do it a bit differently....we use a kg of onion for a kg of mutton. First,fry the sliced onions to golden brown...set aside half portion & layer the marinated meat(marimate consists of half cup yoghurt, 1 tsp each of garlic & ginger pastes& a tablespoon of grated raw papaya)and the other half of the fried onions alternatively . Through in the khara(whole) masala(spices) i.e. a few black cardamoms, 1-tsp cumin seeds,2/3 dry red chillis, 4/5 sticks of cinnamon,(termeric or chilli powder optional),10 each black & white pepper seeds, few bayleaves. Before finally putting the container on the oven/fire add half cup ghee or any edible oil. NOT A DROP OF WATER TO BE USED....TASTES BEST WHEN ALLOWED TO BE KOOKED ON DUM WITH THE MOUTH OF THE VESSEL SEALED WITH FLOUR DOW....the liquid from the meat & onion helps in the cooking process & its great to taste...but very simple...do not forget to add salt to taste

When I made this I used lamb - it was too spicy for me, but my husband loved it and asked for it again. Next time I'll tone down the chillies

I agree this is masala gosht. dopiaza means onions twice. Typically this dish is prepared by browning half the onions to start with, then adding the mean and spices, then the remaining onions and cooking till the last batch of onions softens but does not disintegrate. It is also called piaz gosht.
