PANEER BHURJI / SCRAMBLED PANEER


Paneer Bhurji is an easy and colorful dish which kids just love it.  As we do egg bhurji the same for paneer paneer bhurji but there is an extra addition that is capsicum and tomato.  It is a versatile dish which we can make for breakfast as well for dinner as a side dish for rotis.  When my friend told me that she made this for dinner I wanted to try too.  Before we go for a vacation next week, I want to clear the perishable things are in the fridge.  Paneer was the one flashed in my mind and I just made this for yesterday's dinner.  We had this with rotis and we liked a lot.
