PANEER DO PYAZA RECIPE | PANEER RECIPES

Paneer do pyaza  is a restaurant style paneer recipe and the recipe calls for more onions and less tomatoes unlike the usual tomato based paneer recipes. When i recently visited a restaurant here i saw the name Paneer do pyaza in the menu card, though i didn’t try on that day but noted down the name and searched in net, and finally landed in Vah chef’s video which was truly awesome and tempted me to try out this one soon. I tried this twice but couldn’t get the clicks better as i expected. But still i don’t want postpone as i want to finish off posts which are lying on my drafts first and wanted to move on. So let me share the recipe of how to make Paneer do pyaza which i learnt from Vah chef's video.

METHOD:

• Chop 4 onions  finely and add oil in a pan.
