Crumbled Cottage Cheese Curry || step by step paneer recipe
A very simple cottage cheese preparation. Paneer Bhurji can be used as a sandwich stuffing or for baking also. Additionally, it can be used as a side dish for lunch or dinner meals too. You may also serve it with any Indian bread.
I remember when my daughters were toddlers, I used to give them paneer bhurji sandwiches for their tiffin very often. My elder one was very picky with food. Though, paneer bhurji was a win-win every time for me.
Paneer Bhurji is a popular and delicious North Indian recipe made from crumbled cottage cheese (Indian Cottage Cheese). However, I make this crumbled paneer recipe in a typical Punjabi style. In this quick and simple vegetarian recipe, the crumbled homemade paneer (cottage cheese) is added to sautéed onions, tomatoes and spices for a satisfying hot dish.
It is best to have paneer bhurji hot with some bread, soft dinner rolls (pav) or Indian bread like roti or paratha. Sometimes, I make a paneer roll or paneer Kathi roll by using it for tiffins. In fact, I consider it as one of the best recipes for beginners to start with.
