Hi foodies. Welcome to AYESHA'S KITCHEN. Paneer bhurji or scrambled paneer is a popular mildly spiced North Indian breakfast which is served as a side dish with paratha, dosa, chapati and even with bread. Recipe of paneer bhurji is very simple but very delightful dish for all vegetarians. Preparation of this dish is same like egg bhurji. It tastes delicious and is a good source of protein too.

PREPARATION

  • Soak the paneer in hot water along with few tsp of salt for 5 minutes. When done, drain the water and crumble the paneer. This makes the paneer soft and if you are using fresh paneer, skip this process. Set aside.

Cook for 5 minutes or until done and then add chopped tomato along with chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and cook until the tomato and green gram becomes soft.
