Tomato: 3 medium
Green Chili: 1 (finely chopped)
Ginger: 1 tsp
Garlic: 1 tsp
Cinnamon: 1 inch
Bay leaf: 1
Cardamom: 1
Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
Asafetida: 1 pinch
Red chili powder: ½ tsp
Coriander powder: 2 tsp
Turmeric powder: ¼ tsp
Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves): 1 tsp
Fresh cream: 2 tbsp
Sugar: ½ tsp
Clarified Butter (Ghee): 2 tbsp
Fresh coriander: 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Salt as per taste
Method:
1. Finely chop 1 onion and 1 tomato.
2. Make the puree of 2 tomatoes.
3. Cut 1 inch pieces of another onion.
4. In a pan heat ½ tbsp. of ghee.
5. Add the onion inch pieces.
6. Sautee till they turn slight brown. Remember we have to keep them crunchy only. Take them out on a plate.
7. Now add the remaining 1-1/2 tbsp ghee to the pan. Add cumin seeds and asafetida. Let the cumin seeds fry for a few seconds.
8. Add green chili, bay leaf, cardamom and cinnamon stick. Fry till they impart fragrance.
9. Now add ginger and garlic. Fry until the raw smell has gone.
10. Add the finely chopped onions.
11. Fry till translucent.
12. Add red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt and sugar.
13. Mix well.
14. Now add the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree.
15. Fry until the tomatoes release the oil.
16. Now add paneer cubes and fried onion pieces. Mix well.
17. Add kasuri methi and fresh cream. Mix.
18. Garnish with fresh coriander.
19. Serve hot with roti.
Tips:
1. If required, add water to achieve the desired consistency.
2. Cloves and black peppercorns can also be added.
3. I prefer making paneer at home only. Quantity of onions should be double than the quantity of paneer.
See you soon with a new recipe till then Happy Cooking!!!
Paneer Do Pyaaza is a combination of soft paneer (cottage cheese) cubes and loads of crunchy onions.
It is a very simple yet delicious and rich recipe. I have been following this recipe since many months and it always comes out to be awesome!
Although paneer is not of our liking but “Paneer Do Pyaaza” turns out to be super yum. And the secret is that there is more of onions and less of Paneer ;-). Also, the tomato and onion gravy with various spices imparts a wonderful flavor to the recipe.
Let us start cooking!!!
