Subz Do Pyaza
by Tarla Dalal

As the name suggests, Subz Do Pyaza is a delicious preparation of vegetables enhanced by onions in paste and sautéed forms.

The combination of tangy tomato pulp with a pungent onion-garlic paste and common but aromatic spice powders results in an intense gravy, which goes perfectly well with an assortment of veggies ranging from cauliflower and sweet corn to green peas and beans too.

Although simple and quick, this recipe gets a very rich hue not just from the onion paste and spices but also a balanced dose of fresh cream.

Serve with hot rotis or parathas .
