Paneer Do Pyaza
Paneer do pyaza is a vegetarian version of Do pyaza. in this recipe, we use onions in 2 different ways. We use some sauteed onion petals or shallots and some chopped/grated onions for gravy. It is also known as do piazza because it is named after Akbar mullah do piazza. And they made this dish during the Mughal period. Originally, do piazza is made with meat. but now, you can also try this vegetarian version of do piaza. In the original Mughal recipe, they use a lot of onions and curd. But this recipe is not the original one, we are making this in restaurant style. And you can serve this with naan, tandoori naan, roti, parathas.

How to make paneer do pyaza?
Here I use roughly ground onions for the gravy. And tomato puree, onion petals, ginger garlic crushed.
First, take a pan, add oil, and heat it for 30 to 40 seconds. Add paneer cubes and fry them on high flame for 40 to 50 seconds from both sides.
Fry the paneer on high flame. Do not over fry them. Here I am using my homemade panner. Remove the paneer from oil.
Add small cubed onion petals. Or you can also use shallots. Sauté it for 4 to 5 minutes on high flame. Do not overcook them because we want some crunch. Remove it from the oil.
In the same pan, add all the whole spices.
Add ginger garlic and onions. Mix well.
Add salt and turmeric powder and mix it.
Cook it for 5 to 6 minutes on high flame then turn the flame on medium and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes.
Add all powdered spices, sugar, and mix well.
Again cook it for 10 minutes on medium flame.
Then add tomato puree and cook it for 10 minutes on medium flame.
After that, add water and mix well.
Then add dry fenugreek leaves.
Add sauteed onion petals.
Add paneer. Mix them well. And cover it, cook it for 15 minutes on low to medium flame.
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and it is ready to serve. Serve it with roti, paratha, or naan.
