Paneer Do Pyaza is a rich and flavourful dish made with onions and paneer (Cottage Cheese). Onions are added twice in two different forms that give this dish the name do pyaza (Two Onions). At first, onion is added in the form of onion paste and cooked along with tomato puree and curd; secondly, sliced onions are added to this mixture to give the curry a mild sweetness and crunchiness. Traditionally do pyaza is a non-vegetarian dish made with chicken though the vegetarian variant Paneer Do Pyaza is equally drool-worthy.

Paneer Do Pyaza is a unique onion-based dish that’s very popular. Chef Pankaj Bhadouria shares the recipe in detail.
