Notes
- For best results use soft fresh paneer as its the key to get best juicy paneer bhurji.
- I have used regular cooking oil, but you can replace it with ghee or butter too.
- For vegan option replace paneer with tofu.
- This is medium spicy, add spice powders according to your taste. I did not use green chillies as it might come while eating which will be uncomforatble for the kids.
- Usually I add coriander powder, sometimes I skip still the taste would be great, there is not much of difference.
