Do Pyaza in Persian means two onions and this curry is usually prepared with double the quantity of onions. Onions are added at two stages during cooking and hence the name is Paneer Do Pyaza. Paneer Do Pyaza is a semi gravy recipe prepared with soft paneer and plenty of onions in a creamy base.

Onions are added initially and at the end, sauteed onions are added to give a crunchy feel to the gravy. The gravy is not spicy and has a pinch of sweetness due to plenty of onions added with the tanginess of tomatoes.

Serve Paneer Do Pyaza as a starter at your parties with chapatti/roti or whole wheat lachha paratha, Aloo Matar Sabzi and Tomato Onion Cucumber Raita.
