Paneer Do Pyaza is a rich, creamy North Indian curry made with paneer and onions cooked in two styles - finely chopped and caramelized for depth, and blanched onion petals for crunch and sweetness. This mildly spiced, flavorful dish features a flavorful tomato-onion gravy with spices, herbs, cream and is best served with roti, naan, or rice.
