Paneer is one of my favourite ingredients and I prepare a dish with paneer atleast twice in a week. I don’t usually make cubed paneer but store it as crumbled paneer. This comes very handy while making rotis or side dishes. Though hubby is not a great fan of paneer, he likes this bhurji very much. This dish is so versatile. You can relish it as it is or as a side dish for rotis or as a filling for sandwiches or as a filling for samosas and parathas. How good is this. So make one dish and use it in variety of dishes. This dish is so easy to put together. Last time I made it, I added pepper powder instead of red chilly powder and it gave a nice flavour to the dish. I remembered the egg scramble mom used to make when I was a kid. You can even add this to fried rice or noodles to make a hearty dish.
