Paneer Bhurji

Looking for a quick and easy recipe that your kids will love? Paneer Bhurji might just be the perfect fit! Not only is paneer a favorite among kids, it's also healthy, tasty and easy to pack in their lunch boxes. This popular North Indian dish is made from crumbled paneer and is sure to be a hit with your little ones.

To make the perfect paneer bhurji, follow these simple suggestions. First, thaw the paneer naturally or, if you're in a hurry, immerse the paneer cubes in hot water for 10 minutes before draining and squeezing it. And remember, don't cook the paneer bhurji for too long - just 2 minutes is enough. Overcooking the paneer will make it rubbery and less enjoyable for your kids.
