    About Paneer Bhurji Gravy

    ‘Paneer’ is Indian cottage cheese and ‘Bhurji’ means scrambled so this dish is basically paneer scrambled and cooked along with onion, tomato, ginger garlic paste and spices in gravy consistency. This is a perfect side dish for chapati, roti, pulao, jeera rice etc.

    I love both the gravy and dry version of paneer bhurji. Paneer Bhurji Gravy is a tasty and zesty gravy made by crumbling paneer and cooking it with onion, tomato, herbs and spices. Paneer Bhurji Gravy is a side dish for roti, naan and rice meal too. Paneer Bhurji Gravy making is simple and could be made in minutes.

    Paneer Bhurji Gravy is an easy and quick side dish to make. It is one of the quickest side dish you can make in a jiffy. I tried this after getting the recipe from my cousin sister and I was like how did I miss to make this often as it gets done in few minutes when you have paneer in hand. So after that this has become a staple side dish.

    Paneer Bhurji Gravy Ingredients

    • Paneer – Paneer is the star ingredient for this recipe. So use fresh soft paneer either homemade or store bought. That is the key to get moist juicy tasty paneer bhurji.
    • Spices – Indian spice powders like turmeric, red chili powder and garam masala powder. Mostly I use homemade spice powders to get fresh flavors.
    • Ginger garlic paste – I used homemade ginger garlic paste. If you do not have, crush ginger and garlic roughly using mortar and pestle and add it.
    • Onion, tomato – Freshly chopped onion and tomatoes are sauteed until mushy and used.
    • Garnish – Add coriander leaves and kasoori methi as garnish which enhances the flavor a lot.
    • Cumin seeds – Cumin seeds is used for tempering.
    • Gram flour – Gram flour is used as a thickening agent here. It makes the gravy thick and creamy.
    • Butter, Oil – Both butter and oil is used for tempering. Butter adds flavor and richness to the gravy.
