About Paneer Hara Pyaz
Paneer Hara Pyaz (Paneer Green Onion Curry) is a delicious Indian curry in which paneer cubes and green onions are cooked in a spicy onion-tomato masala. This curry is easy to make and comes together quickly using a few basic ingredients. Make it for everyday meals, festivals, and special occasions. Serve this curry with Indian bread, such as naan, phulka, lachha paratha, or plain tawa paratha. Green Onions – This recipe uses both white and green part of green onions Oil – Use any cooking oil. Replace oil with ghee or butter for a richer curry. Spice Powders – To enhance the flavors, add spice powders such as coriander powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala powder. Milk and unsweetened heavy cream – These two ingredients form the creamy base of Paneer Green Onion Curry. You can skip adding cream if you make it for your everyday meals. The cream can be replaced with malai. Tomato – You will need both canned tomato puree and fresh tomatoes to add that much-needed tartness and color. Ketchup – Tomato Ketchup adds a sweet, tangy taste to the curry. Others – You will also need cumin seeds, garlic, and green chilies. Adjust the green chilies to your taste. Once the oil is hot, add 200 g paneer (cut into 1-inch cubes) to the pan and fry them until golden brown from all sides. Transfer the fried paneer cubes to a water-filled bowl and keep them aside.
