Paneer Bhurji

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup paneer crumbled (or cut very small)
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • 1/2 small red onion chopped
  • 1/2 small tomato chopped
  • 1/2 inch piece of ginger minced or grated
  • 1 green chili * chopped
  • 3 tsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp jeera cumin
  • 1/2 tsp haldi turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp red chili powder * optional
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • dhaniya cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a pan or wok up over medium-high heat and add oil.
  • Once oil it hot, add cumin.
  • Once the cumin starts splattering, add the green chilis and ginger. Stir a few times.
  • Add onions. Sauté until translucent.
  • Add the tomatoes, peas, salt, haldi, and red chili powder.
  • Stir, lower the heat to low, and cover the pan to steam everything. Steam until the peas are cooked (5-7 minutes). The peas will be done cooking once they're easily mashable. You can try to mash one against the pot or take a pea out to test it.
  • Add paneer. Stir to combine. Turn off heat.
  • Add garam masala and stir to mix.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Notes

*If your garam masala is naturally spicy, cut down the red chili powder and green chili amounts.
