Amritsari Paneer Bhurji
Amritsari Paneer Bhurji is a delicious North Indian dish made with crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked with spices and herbs. It's an absolutely melting in the mouth paneer dish that you can make even on a busy day.
Ingredients
- 1 Medium red onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 Inch Fresh ginger
- 2 Green Chili
- 1 Tomato
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 1 Tbsp Chickpea flour
- 1 tablespoon Dried Fenugreek leaves
- 14 Oz Fresh paneer (You can use store bought too, just make sure the paneer is soft and of the best quality. )
- 3 tablespoon Heavy cream
- ¼ cup Finely chopped cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and tomato. Grate or finely chop the garlic, green chili and ¼th of the ginger. Thinly slice the rest of the ginger.
- In a heavy bottom pan, add butter and oil. Let it melt and then add the chickpea flour. Cook the chickpea flour for a couple of minutes.
- Next, scatter the chopped onion, season with salt and cook the onion until it's softened.
- Add the chopped tomato along with all the spices and cook for 1 minute. Then pour a little water and cook everything until the raw spice flavor is gone, and it looks jammy.
- Crumble the paneer with hand or grate it and add to the pan. Stir it around to mix everything. Then pour ½ cup hot water and let it simmer for 5 minutes in medium low heat.
- Add the chopped cilantro leaves, sliced ginger and heavy cream. Stir it around and taste for salt. Add more if needed.
- This step is optional, but I like to finish it with a little more crushed dried fenugreek leaves and 1 tablespoon butter.
- Serve Amritsari paneer bhurji warm.
