This one shows eggs but it might just as well be mushrooms, Indian cottage cheese (paneer), blanched veggies of your choice, poultry, prawns or mutton but I've never yet seen fish.
It's called "do pyaza" which literally means two onions in Hindi and Urdu. The gravy is based on pureéd or finely diced tomatoes, yogurt, grated or finely diced onions and some relatively mild but aromatic spices. To that are added quartered onions and optionally, spring onions and potatoes.
The photo is from a channel called Cook with Lubna by an Indian cookery show host Syeda Lubna Shaikh, and the link is given below. The second link is from the celebrity chef, restauranter and regular judge on MasterChef India, Ranveer Brar. Take your pick.
This gravy style was probably invented during the times of the Mughal emperors in the royal kitchens and is mild but rich and decadent.

Never heard of this. I’m putting this on my list. I can’t wait to chat with my Indian friends at work to get their stories and recommendations
Mmmm. A little sweet or savory?? Looks delicious!!! 🤤
Sir, that’s clearly more than two onions yet less than fifty. Talk about clickbait!
