Paneer bhurji recipe

Prep Time: 5 mins    |  Cook time: 10 mins    |  Serves: 3

Ingredients

Paneer cubes	2 cups
Onion	2
Capsicum	1
Red chilli powder/ pepper powder	1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder	1/2 tsp
Dhaniya/ coriander seeds powder	1 tsp
Lemon juice	1 tsp
Milk	2 tblsp
Ginger, finely chopped	1 tblsp
Green chillies	2
Coriander leaves, finely chopped	2 tblsp
Jeera	1 tsp
Oil	1 tblsp

Method

1. If you are using frozen paneer, either thaw it until room temperature or boil water and keep immersed for 10 minutes. Drain the water completely and crumble it in a mixer(just add in two batches and give it a run)

2. Heat a pan with oil and splutter jeera, add finely chopped ginger and green chillies, followed by finely chopped onion. Fry till transparent and add the chopped capsicum.

3. Fry for a minute without changing its crispiness and add coriander leaves, all the powders and give it a quick stir without burning them. Add milk, salt and cook for 2 minutes until the milk evaporates.

4. Now lastly add crumbled paneer and mix well. Fry for 2 minutes or until dry and add the lemon juice and mix well.

Notes

• If you want to add frozen peas, cook it in microwave and add it in the end of step 2. For carrots, just add it after onion and fry along.
• You can omit lemon juice and add a tomato chopped along with capsicum.
• I used tri coloured capsicum.
• You can skip ginger too!

  
    Serve hot with roti or naan or any stuffed parathas too…Wrap it or just have it as a side dish, you can even eat its as such! Tastes awesome and damn easy to make!
