Paneer burji – scrambled paneer curry
Instructions
Prep:15minCook:50min
This is the easiest and most delicious paneer dish to make at home, and perfect if you’re trying paneer for the first time. It’s also a great choice for packed lunches or summer picnics: my daughters like to cut a pitta in half, turn each half into a pocket and fill with paneer to enjoy with pickled onions and salad on the side. You could also eat this paneer in a wrap, along with sliced onions and the chutney of your choice
