Paneer bhurji is healthy, vibrant looking dish goes well with with roti, naan, paratha’s or even with toast and can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This recipe is a dry version of paneer, made with crumbled paneer along with few Indian spices and require very few ingredients. I usually cook this extra so that I can use the leftover bhurji for my breakfast next day to make one of my favorite paneer bhurji grilled sandwich, recipe of which I will be sharing in my next post.
