Malai Pyaaz is an authentic Rajasthani recipe. It is cooked with lots of onion, basic spices and generous quantity of Malai. If you don’t know what malai is, it is the fresh cream which we take out of milk. For this recipe, use only fresh malai or you can use cream from the market.
Rich in flavor and crunchy in taste, 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.
