Paneer Bhurji- How to make Paneer Bhurji

September 24, 2018 by Smita Singh Leave a Comment

Paneer Bhurji

Paneer Bhurji is a popular Paneer based street food dish, equally popular, insanely delicious and vegetarian’s answer to Egg Bhurji . There is different variation of Paneer Bhurji-a dry version which is commonly available in street food of Mumbai and the gravied version of Paneer Bhurji which is commonly eaten in Amritsar.

Bhurji is a term reserved for style of cooking in which several ingredients are jumbled and mixed together to form a dry or gravy preparation which is usually relished with tawa-roasted Pav or Parathas. Anda Bhurji and Paneer Bhurji are two of the most commonly prepared variations of Bhurji.

Paneer Bhurji usually tastes well when made with soft Paneer- I usually prefer home-made Paneer for this dish. The fresh paneer is roughly crumbled or grated and added to the mixture of onion-tomato and several aromatic spices. I also like to add the tangy Pav Bhaji masala to the Bhurji which provides a much desired kick to this preparation. It tastes well with butter roasted Pav or some plain Parathas.

Paneer Bhurji

The best part of this recipe is that it can be quickly made in less than 30 mins and served with some Pav it is a perfect hearty meal that can keep one satiated for 3-4 hours.

Enjoy Dhaba style Paneer Bhurji as a quick meal option with Pav and share your feedback with us in comment section below.
