Paneer Bhurji is one of the easiest dishes; it can be prepared with very less efforts
and time. Every time I make paneer bhurji I missed the crunch in it; so this
time I added boiled corn and I was so totally satisfied with the taste. There
is one more thing that I like about this recipe that is very versatile paneer recipe –one can add or
delete any ingredients to this dish.

- ½ cup boiled corn (makai)
- 2 cups paneer (cottage cheese), crumbled or grated
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ cup chopped capsicum
- 1 tsp chopped coriander leaves
Method:
- Dilute red chilli powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder in 1 tablespoon water and keep it ready.
- In a pan, heat oil. Add finely chopped onion and fry until golden brown.
- Then add chopped green chilli and mix.
- Add chopped tomato and fry well until thickens and gets soft.
- Add diluted spice mix and saute on a low heat for 2 – 3 minutes until it is well blended with tomato.

Serve hot with bread or rice.

ReplyDeleteI'm trying to learn a little about Indian cooking, and decided to make paneer. It didn't work well, so I needed a recipe to use it crumbled. This looked like something we would like. But I don't see where the sauce comes from? The picture shows quite a bit of sauciness, but my pan is quite dry. Is there supposed to be that much fluid from the tomato? Mine didn't have that much. I have added some water, so it is a least moist, but I feel like I've missed something? Otherwise, I like it (except that my green pepper was really hot!!!)
ReplyDeleteI used water too for the sauciness. Indian curry is hot and there how everyone likes it :) glad you tried the recipe. Thanks and next time do share the picture
