Paneer is the Chicken of a vegetarian household. North Indian families, like mine, always order Paneer when dining out. Usually accompanied by Dal Makhni. This is a quick, healthy and easy Paneer Bhurji recipe. Perfect for your Friday night menu.
What I also love about it is that it makes for a great sandwich. Use any leftovers to make a Grilled Paneer Sandwich for breakfast the next morning, to enjoy with your tea or coffee.
