Paneer Bhurji


Paneer bhujji is a very common breakfast dish in north india. Anda bhujji is much more famous, but i love this bhujji as it gives the true taste of paneer. It looks rich and can be used as a filling for toasts too. You can also have it with roti/ parantha. This is the first sabji i learnt to cook, when i was a kid:-)
Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

0.5lb paneer (fresh cottage cheese)
1C peas
1/2 onion, chopped
1 green chili , chopped
handful of cilantro (optional)
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
1 tbsp oil
Method:

1) Grate the paneer.

2) In a pan, heat oil , add onions, green chili and thawed peas. Let them cook on medium high, until the onions become golden brown.

2) Add salt , red chili powder, turmeric powder and saute for a few seconds. Add the grated paneer and turn off the heat. Mix it well till it is coated with the masala.

3) Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with roti or bread.

Serves: 2-3
