Malai Pyaaz ki sabzi is a Rajasthani recipe which is cooked with onions and a generous quantity of fresh Malai from your refrigerator. Use only fresh malai (the one which we collect from the top of milk) or you can use cream from the market. I have not used the cream as I always use fresh malai. Since it’s a two ingredients recipe, it takes less than 10 minutes to make. Sounds interesting, right? Keep on reading! 🙂
A few years back, I traveled to my best friend’s place in Rajasthan and her mom made this malai pyaaz ki sabzi and I was blown away by the simplicity of the flavors and the fact that it can be made in less than 10 minutes makes it even more appealing. I love recipes that take less time.
Soft melts in your mouth, it is the perfect recipe if you are out of vegetables or want to try something different. Malai Pyaaz can be served with roti or paratha or even lachcha paratha.
A perfect recipe to try during this lockdown where we are always short of vegetables. Lol. This can be served as a side dish in your main thali. Lip-smacking yummy and the flavors are so subtle yet clear. I absolutely love this recipe and usually make this when I am out of recipe ideas.
