Scrambled Cottage Cheese
A big cup of green tea marks the beginning of my day. Next
is a filling breakfast which makes me keep going until lunchtime or very often
throughout the day. One dish which I really enjoy is Paneer Bhurji which is Scrambled Cottage cheese curry. Paneer Bhurji with bread and a glass of fruit
juice to go along with it. But with or without the accompaniment of the juice, my hot
n spicy Paneer Bhurjee is quite filling
and leaves me with the energy to carry on throughout the day. It goes well with
roti or paratha too but my preference is
always with brown bread for breakfast. Here
is how I cook it.
Ingredients :-
200 gms. Paneer crushed.
4 medium sized tomatoes chopped.
10 green chillies slit.
2 or 3 bay leaves.
2 tsp garam masala.
1 tsp. turmeric powder.
1 onion sliced
2 tsp. ginger garlic paste.
2 Tbs refined oil.
A bunch of green coriander chopped finely.
Salt to taste.
Method :-
Heat the oil in a pan. Tear the bay leaves and put it in the hot oil.
Add the ginger garlic paste, the sliced onions and stir. Slow down the gas flame or the heat on your induction and
add the garam masala, salt and turmeric powder. Keep stirring until the masala
emits a lovely cooked aroma. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook covered. Add a
little water, stir and keep cooking until everything which has been added becomes a nice paste. Add
the green chilies and cook for a few minutes. One can reduce or increase the amount of chilies depending
on how hot n spicy you want your bhurji to be. I always prefer it to be hot
and chewing the cooked green chillies which are infused with the taste of the
cottage cheese and the masala is a tasty delight for me.
Next the crushed Cottage Cheese goes in. Crush it tenderly between your fingers so as it might not get totally meshed. Keep stirring and cook for another 3
minutes. Finally add chopped green coriander and cook covered for a minute or
two. Your Paneer Bhurjee is ready. Serve hot with bread or roti or paratha and
enjoy it anytime of the day. Be it breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner, you will
definitely enjoy relishing it. Bon Appétit.
