Paneer Bhurji
Paneer Bhurji is a very simple yet very tasty dish. Usually its served with roti or parathas. You can probably make it similar way, you are making egg bhurji if you eat eggs. I made a tiny bit variation to that recipe. I like to put tri-colored peppers for colorful look and for crunch factor as well. Its always preferable to use the freshly made paneer but you can use store bought as well. the fresh paneer yields better taste and comes out super soft. The bhurji made with store bought paneer is not bad either. I guess its a personal preference. If you have time on hand then use fresh paneer otherwise…
Now that you have made bhurji for dinner and you have leftover, what would you do? I can give you few options. You can make cheese-paneer toast, paneer bhurji sandwitch, paneer frankie… Options are way too many. But are you going to have any leftovers? Try the below recipe and check it out how yummy it is and how quick and easy to make it!
