Paneer Bhurji

When you are in a hurry, Paneer Bhurji comes to your rescue.

It can be rustled up in a few minutes. Goes very well with roti/ paratha, or even bread.

Perfect for rolls too.

I haven't added too many spices as I wanted paneer to sing through the dish.

You can increase the quantity of green chili for a fiery version. You know I can't tolerate heat so I always  keep the chili  low.
