I love making paneer dishes for special occasions, as they are always a hit with family and friends. Shahi Paneer is my go-to luxurious recipe. This time, I decided to try my hand at Amritsari Paneer Bhurji, a delicious and flavorful dish that adds a special touch to any celebration. Paneer Bhurji is an Indian dish made with crumbled paneer that is cooked in a curry gravy. It has a semi dry consistency. You can also prepare Tofu Bhurji which is a vegan version and can be served for breakfast. Amritsari Paneer Bhurji is a spicy and tangy scrambled paneer dish, infused with the robust flavours of Indian cuisine. It’s made by crumbling paneer and cooking it with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and a blend of aromatic spices, creating a delightful and rich dish that is perfect for festive gatherings.
Ingredients
Paneer – I like to use homemade paneer but you can use store bought. Onion, garlic, ginger, green chilies Tomatoes – I have used a mix of passata (grated tomatoes) and fresh tomatoes. Tandoori sauce or marinade Turmeric Garma masala Oil or butter Cream or butter Fresh coriander/cilantro
Serving suggestion
Amritsari paneer bhurji is best served alongside Indian flatbreads such as whole wheat roti or crispy ajwain paratha. If serving Paneer Bhurji as a main dish, why not serve it with bombay potatoes or bhindi bhaji. Add a side such as Indian onion salad or Kachumber.
Storage
Store the bhurji in airtight containers and place in the fridge as soon as it cools. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can freeze leftvoers in a freezer safe container for up to 1 month. Allow to defrost and reheat on the stove top. You may need a bit of milk to loosen it.
