PANEER DO PYAZA

Paneer Do Pyaza is a flavorful North Indian curry that features paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked with a generous amount of onions, prepared in two distinct ways. The name “Do Pyaza” translates to “two onions,” referring to the use of onions in two different stages of cooking, which imparts a rich, layered flavor to the dish.

🧅 Origins & Meaning

The term “Do Pyaza” is derived from Persian, meaning “two onions.” Traditionally, this dish involves adding onions twice during the cooking process: once in the gravy and again as a garnish. While the original recipes were meat-based, vegetarian versions like Paneer Do Pyaza have become popular in Indian cuisine.
