Paneer Do Pyaza is a flavorful and aromatic North Indian semi-dry curry where onions are added twice during the cooking process. The term 'Do Pyaza' literally means 'double onions,' referring to the generous use of this vegetable in two distinct stages. It features soft paneer cubes and crunchy onion petals simmered in a spiced tomato-onion masala base. The dish offers a wonderful balance of sweetness from caramelized onions and a mild spicy kick from whole spices. It is a popular and hearty choice for both home-cooked meals and restaurant dining, typically served with hot rotis or parathas.

Tips & Secrets
- Sautéing the onion petals separately ensures they retain their shape and crunch, which is vital for this dish.
- Adding a tablespoon of thick yogurt at the masala stage can add a subtle tang and richness to the gravy.
- Use red onions for the petals as they offer a better sweetness and color contrast against the white paneer.
- Always rub the kasuri methi between your palms before adding to release its maximum aromatic flavor.
