Remember that
paneer I made a couple days ago? Well, for lunch today, I made
paneer ki bhurji or
paneer scramble from that same
paneer that
I made. It is quite similar to tofu scramble and in fact is pretty much like scrambled eggs, except all jazzed up with onions, tomatoes, green chilies and some spices. (

If you go take a look at the above link for "
Masala Bhurji," this
paneer ki bhurji is the same. Extremely quick and easy and delicious!
- I chopped up a medium size onion, a couple tomatoes and 3-4 green chilies.
- Fried this in a little bit of oil and mustard seeds (cumin seeds work too) and then added the home made paneer, followed by salt, turmeric powder, some red chili powder and just a pinch of garam masala.
- I crumbled up the paneer in the pan itself with the spatula. While doing so, I delighted in the fact that the home-made paneer was of excellent quality- oh yeah! I gave everything one last stir and then covered the lid. Simmered for about 5 minutes and turned off the stove.
- And that's it-- paneer ki bhurji or paneer scramble was ready. Before serving, I garnished with some fresh cilantro.

*One could add green peas to this dish too for color.
Our Sunday lunch comprised of rotis with
paneer ki bhurji, followed by a glass of buttermilk. Simple, delicious and satisfying!
