Method

  1. 1 Tear the paneer into small pieces by hand, not cut it into blocks—that's the meaning of the word bhurji.
  2. 2 Sauté cumin seeds in butter, then stir-fry onions with ginger and green chilies for 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Add turmeric and chopped tomatoes, then sauté for 5 minutes until the tomatoes are dry.
  4. 4 Add the crumbled paneer and stir for exactly 90 seconds, then turn off the heat.
  5. 5 If you stir-fry for more than 2 minutes, the paneer will release water and crumble, becoming tough.
  6. 6 Sprinkle with garam masala and herbs, then serve with hot roti bread.
