Instructions
- 1.Crumble the paneer & keep aside.
- 2. Finely chop the onions, green chillies, coriander leaves & keep aside.
- 3. Puree the tomatoes. You may choose to chop half & puree half too incase you like chunks of tomatoes in your bhurjee.
- 4. In a kadhai, take some oil, once it heats, add jeera, let it turn a bit brown before adding the onions.
- 5. Sweat the onions & slightly brown them.
- 6. Add the tomato puree, green chillies, turmeric powder, salt & stir well until the water is evaporated and a thick gravy is formed.
- 7. Add the crumbled paneer into the kadhai along with finely chopped coriander leaves & garam masala powder. Cover with a lid & let it mix & cook well for another 2-3 mins on a low flame.
Recipe Notes
- If you prefer your bhurjee with garlic / ginger paste, add it after Sr. No. 4.
- At Sr. No. 6 you can add red chilly powder too incase you like very spicy bhurjee.
- If you want your onions to brown / caramelize faster, add a pinch of salt.
- If you further want to reduce the oil content & still get a good gravy, use 1 tblsp of oil, then 2 spoons of water while cooking ur onions & cover it with a lid so that it softens with the steam. I do this for most of the gravies at home & it doesn’t affect taste.
