Paneer Do Pyaza

Once a week I have to make paneer at home and then a paneer dish since paneer isn't available here.Everytime i want to make delicious restaurant style paneer dishes because paneer is something special for a vegeterian.
When i saw this paneer do pyaza recipe for the first time,i thought i could find another better recipe for paneer and ignored it. But every week i needed a new paneer recipe and i was already bored of "Paneer Butter Masala(my fav)",palak paneer,matar paneer etc. So one day i had to try this.The result was so good that i have made this numerous times now and added it to my paneer favourites now. If you want to try a new and special paneer dish, this is the one. Its perfect for any occasion and can be served with parathas or rice.I just never thought it could be such a special dish.

But do you know why is it called so?
There are several reasons why a dish is called "Do Pyaza" meaning "two onions".
1.One reason says that the weight of the onion is twice that of the paneer.
2.Another reason is that only two onions are used. 
3.But the most practical theory is that the onions are used in two different forms -raw and fried.The raw onions are slowly cooked in the gravy, enhancing the flavor. The fried onions, added toward the end boost the color of the dish, adding a caramelized sweetness.
