This is yet another Indian curry recipe wherein amount of onion used is relatively larger compared with other main ingredients. In this paneer do pyaza recipe, sliced onions are pan-fried with spices and crushed tomatoes, which compliments the soft and creamy taste of paneer. The kasuri methi brings subtle but noticeable flavor too. Whatever the occasion, pair it with any Indian bread for scrumptious meal.

1 tablespoon + 2 tablespoons Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Cream

Tips and Variations:
  • Adjust amount of red chilli powder and green chilli to make it as spicy as you like it.
  • Paneer do pyaza, one of the easy paneer dishes recipe, uses sugar to balance out the sour taste of tomato. You can avoid it if you do not like even a mildest hint of sweet taste in curry.
  • If you would like to have larger pieces of onion, then cut it into 4 parts and separate its individual layers (instead of slicing the onion) before sautéing.
Taste: Soft and mellow paneer and onion in a spicy tomato gravy.
Serving Ideas: Serve it with butter kulcha, onion raita and masala papad for happy meal. The semi gravy texture of this curry makes it suitable to be served with steamed rice or peas pulao as well.

Kya malai ghar me banta he? kaise? uske jgah pe or kuchh daal skte he kya? Reply me plz.

Response: Hi, you can make the malai(fresh cream) at home or buy it from the grocery store (you can easily find Amul brand fresh cream in most of the grocery stores).
It is added in most of the punjabi curries to get rich creamy flavor. However, if it is not available, you can skip it. You cannot use anything else instead of malai.
To make the malai at home, follow the given directions.
1. Boil the milk and then cool it at room temperature.
2. After that, keep it in refrigerator for at least 7-8 hours, the thick layer (malai) will form on the milk surface, collect it and store it in airtight container in refrigerator. It stays good for 4-5 days.
3.To add homemade malai in the curry, beat it a little or stir it with a spoon before adding.

How to get fresh cream and is it necessary to add cream to the gravy?

Response: Hi Preeti, fresh cream is added in the gravy to get the creamy taste, however if it is not available then you can skip it. You can buy the fresh cream (malai) from grocery store.

Hi, it really tastes awesome. I want to know about the ingredients if i would like to make it for a bigger gathering around 30 people.

Response: Hi Neha, if you want to make this in large quantity, I would suggest you to make this once at home and check the quantity. This recipe serves 2 people, so you can get the idea to make this for 30 people by multiplying all ingredients.

Is it necessary to add sugar in the gravy?????

Response: Hi parul, sugar is added to balance the sour taste of tomatoes in this recipe but if you do not like then you can omit it. In this recipe, sugar is an optional ingredient as we have mentioned in the ingredient section.
