🧀 What is Paneer Bhurji?

Paneer Bhurji is the vegetarian cousin of Egg Bhurji (spiced scrambled eggs), popular across India. “Bhurji” refers to anything that is scrambled or crumbled, and in this dish, soft paneer is scrambled and cooked with classic Indian masalas. It’s creamy, spicy, and incredibly comforting.

🥘 Ingredients You'll Need:

• 200g paneer (crumbled)

• 1 large onion (finely chopped)

• 1 medium tomato (chopped)

• 1 green chili (optional, finely chopped)

• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

• ½ tsp turmeric powder

• ½ tsp red chili powder

• ½ tsp cumin seeds

• Salt to taste

• 1 tbsp oil or ghee

• Fresh coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)

🔥 Cooking Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they crackle, add chopped onions and sauté till golden brown.

2. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for 1 minute until the raw smell fades.

3. Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric, and red chili powder. Cook until tomatoes are soft and oil separates.

4. Add the crumbled paneer and mix well. Cook for 3–4 minutes. Do not overcook, as paneer may turn rubbery.

5. Season with salt, mix, and finish with fresh coriander leaves.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Serve hot with roti, paratha, or even pav (bread rolls).

• It can also be a great filling for wraps or sandwiches.
