  • Add turmeric powder, chopped green chilies, coriander powder, cook for one more minute.
  • Add chopped onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat till onions get cooked and raw smell get off. Do not overcook the onions as we need little crunch in our recipe.
  • Once onion get cooked add fresh milk cream, salt and mix well to combine all ingredients. Cover the pan, cook for 3 to 4 minutes on low heat.
  • Garnish with Kasuri methi powder and serve hot with rice, Roti or Paratha.

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For a more authentic Rajasthani flavor, use desi ghee instead of oil when tempering the spices—this adds a rich aroma and depth to the dish.
  • If you like a touch of tang, add a small splash of yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to balance the creaminess of the malai.
  • Thinly slice the onions and soak them in cold water for 10 minutes before cooking to mellow their sharpness while maintaining their crunch.
  • Serve Malai Pyaaz with bajra roti or missi roti for a truly traditional experience; garnishing with finely chopped fresh coriander and a pinch of red chili powder enhances both color and flavor.
