I guess, the way we prepare bhurji is almost same or just might experiment with few ingredients. For few, the method of preparation may vary. Mine is pretty simple and straight forward, sauté onions, tomatoes, chillies, some dry masala and scrambled paneer.

The curry goes well with roti/chapathi, as a side to simple pulao, steamed rice. Have you any leftover of this dish(and I seriously doubt that.), you can conveniently make sandwich. See, so many options for this tasty creation. Lets not wait and start now.

Notes
  1. 1. Any oil of your choice can be used instead butter.
  2. 2. Reduce the amount of red chilli powder if the green chilli is spicy.
  3. 3. Break paneer slab in small chunks and pulse them in mixer jar for 2-4 seconds to scramble them. Else, you can grate paneer. I used grated paneer.
  4. 4. Since paneer is moist, you wont get a dry bhurji. You can increase the flame to high and fry the contents for a while. Be careful to not burn the bhurji and don't leave the pan unattended.
