Paneer Bhurji and curry

 Hi friends,

Welcome to another blog . This is another one of my quick fix for side dish for dinner.

According to me, Paneer Bhurji is the most simplest and quickest side dish for chapati, phulka or jeera rice.

Here , I have shared a basic gravy which I have used to make 2 kinds of paneer dishes.

One is Paneer Bhurji and the other is a simple paneer curry.

Let's jump to the ingredients

Ingredients

Onion - 4 medium chopped

Tomato -3 medium chopped

Ginger - 2 inch chopped

Garlic -6-8 pods 

Paneer - 2 200 gm packs 

Salt 

Turmeric powder -1 TSP 

Chilli powder -1 TSP 

Coriander powder - 1 TSP 

Garam masala - 1 tbsp 

Oil 

Jeera - 1 TSP 

Kasuri methi - 1 TSP 

Grate 1 pkt of paneer in a large grater .

In a deep kadai, add oil. Add jeera and once it splutters, add onion, ginger and garlic. Fry it well till it becomes translucent. Now add tomato and fry it well .

Once it is cooked, add turmeric powder, chilli powder and coriander powder. Mix it well after adding salt.

After 4-5 minutes,onions and tomatoes get mushy. At this stage ,add garam masala powder and mix well.

Since I made 2 subjis that day, I took half of the gravy out. 

In the kadai, where some gravy is left add the grated paneer and mix well. Add a little water to bring everything together.

The paneer which I used was a little soft, so it literally melted into the gravy. Add a pinch of kasuri methi.

Now switch off the flame and garnish it with coriander leaves. 

Serve it hot . You can also serve it like a gravy by adding a little hot water to adjust it's consistency.

Second curry 

In the remaining half of the gravy, I added a half cup of water.

Once it starts boiling, add chopped paneer pieces and cook it till all the paneer pieces are coated with the masala.

Switch off the flame after adding kasuri methi, and it reaches a semi dry consistency.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve it with roti, phulka ,rice .

This takes hardly 10-15 minutes. And it will be loved by both kids and adults alike.

Please try and let me know.
