Method
- 1 Divide the onion into two parts: one part finely chopped and the other part cut into large wedges.
- 2 Sauté the chopped onions for 15 minutes until browned, then blend them with the tomatoes to make a sauce.
- 3 Cook the sauce with yogurt, chili powder, and ginger for 10 minutes.
- 4 Sauté the large onion slices separately for 3 minutes until the outside is slightly browned and the inside remains crispy.
- 5 Two turns, two different dishes – that's the whole meaning of do pyaza; one turn and you get a different dish.
- 6 Mix the pan-fried paneer and shallots into the sauce, then sprinkle with garam masala and herbs.
