Paneer Bhurji is my go-to recipe when I want to have a quick dinner or lunch. Although you can have it for breakfast as well. You can make a paneer bhurji roll by rolling it in roti/paratha to make an on-the-go breakfast.

What is Paneer bhurji?

Crumbled paneer or cottage cheese cooked with onions, tomatoes and herbs. It is all you want for a quick meal. Also,a great combination with simple bread or paratha/roti.It has a taste similar to scrambled eggs or anda bhurji. The vegan alternative to it is scrambled tofu and cooks in a jiffy. You can make it without onion too or add capsicums to make a paneer capsicum bhurji  if you like them.Simple and absolutely yummy meal. Bachelors can also make it easily because it requires no prior preparation. You only need some cheese from the market. I love to make my cottage cheese at home. However if you are in a hurry, you can also buy it from the market. Just soak it in hot water for 15-20 mins and drain it. Crumble it with hand.
