Paneer Do Pyaza Recipe – Paneer do Pyaza resturant style recipe – Simple paneer recipe

When I first had this dish few years ago in an restaurant I was presently taken by the taste. Based on that name which sounded close to pizza I thought it is more of tomato based recipe to my surprise it is actually more onion. I am a big of an of onion and I loved the dish. My 1st son’s worst vegetable is Onion So I kept postponing making this at home. When I was thinking about a side dish to go with Chapati I remembered this dish also my 1st son is in boarding school so the dinner is just for us and my 2nd son so I have decided to do this.
