About Paneer Bhurji

Bhurji means scrambled, and so this dish is all about scrambled Paneer with tomatoes and spices.

I learned this dish from one of my best friends a long time ago when we were in university. I then modified the recipe to make it without onion and garlic as per my family’s taste. 

However, I can still feel the essence of our friendship whenever I make Paneer Bhurji. It brings back all the memories spent with special friends.🤗

This sabji is in semi-solid form, and we don’t need to make a gravy. Instead, we will cook finely chopped tomatoes until they are soft, and the tomato mixture will become like a gravy.

Paneer Bhurji No Onion No Garlic is a one-pot or, more specifically, one-pan recipe, which I love about it. 

Why You Will Love Paneer Bhurji

• Easy, One-pan, and Quick Recipe
• Delicious, Flavorful, and Melt in the Mouth
• Requires Only a Few Ingredients
• Perfect for Lunch, Dinner, or Even a Breakfast

Ingredients

1. Paneer or Chhena: Paneer Bhurji is made with scrambled Paneer. But instead of scrambling Paneer, I always make this Sabji with freshly made chhena. Chhena is softer and moist than Paneer, so the Paneer Bhurji melts in the mouth. So, if you make Paneer at home, do not tie and press the chhena; instead, use the freshly made chhena in the recipe. And if you are using homemade or store-bought Paneer, grate it or scramble it, and then use it in the recipe.
2. Tomatoes: After Paneer, tomatoes are the next essential ingredient for Paneer Bhurji, which is without onion and garlic. So choose ripe tomatoes and chop them very finely. We are not making tomato puree for this sabji, but once the tomatoes are cooked, they will be soft. The tomatoes will be soft and pulpy, and the tomato mixture will be like a thick gravy. 
3. Green Pepper: Green pepper adds nutrition, color, and a nice crunch to Paneer Bhurji. However, it is not necessary to use green pepper. Instead of green peppers, we can also use red, orange, or yellow bell peppers.
4. Spices: We need our common spices for this recipe. Use green chili less or more, depending on how spicy you want. Also, I have used Kashmiri red chili powder, which gives a nice, vibrant color but is not spicy. Adding sugar is optional, but I will recommend adding at least a pinch. It will enhance the flavors of the dish.
5. Cream: Adding cream to this sabji is totally optional, even if I don’t add it every time. Only once in a while, I like to add a tablespoon of cream to Paneer Bhurji. It makes it creamy, rich, and moist.
