Paneer Do Pyaza

Paneer Do Pyaza is a flavorful North Indian curry made with tender cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and a generous amount of onions cooked in two ways—hence the name “do pyaza” (meaning “double onions”). The dish features a mildly spiced, tomato-onion gravy where sliced onions are sautéed for sweetness and cubed onions are added for crunch. This semi-dry curry pairs perfectly with roti, naan, or jeera rice, offering a delicious balance of creaminess, spice, and the natural sweetness of onions.
