Panir do pyaza // Cheese with two types of onions

Share
Previously I taught you lamb do pyaza, try a vegetarian version with Indian cheese. Do means two and pyaza is onion so this dish is made with two types of onions, which makes the sauce more flavorful and exciting. Admittedly, there is a bit more to do, and sometimes it takes a little bit of work to make it look fancy.

Panir , the Indian cheese made with milk and kefir is actually quite tasteless, so it can be added to quite a few different spices. When we have two types of onions it gives a dominant taste and with a little cream it is balanced and gets a wonderful taste.
