PANEER BHURJI: (SCRAMBLED INDIAN COTTAGE CHEESE)

Quite a popular and delicious dish from Northern side of India. This can be consumed as breakfast or as sides for the main course food items.

Some would like to prepare the Paneer home made but, i bought them in stores. The veggies that are generally added to this is just three. Some would add more. It is also one among the common street style food in Northern part of India.

The term Bhurji means scrambled. You scramble the Paneer / The cottage cheese (Indian) to make this dish.

The ginger garlic paste or the chili paste or the spices can be home made too. It will be fresh and has a unique flavor/aroma. This is similar to scrambled eggs but just the vegetarian version which is made with paneer or with tofu too. The one made out of Soy. This is for ones who are vegan.
