Paneer Bhurji



Ingredients:

I. Tadka:
1 bay leaf
1 inch cinnamom stick
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp fennel seeds

II. Onion Tomato Paste:
2 medium onions finely chopped
4 tsp tomato paste, heaping tsp
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
3 tsp Shaan Tandoori BBQ Masala
Salt

III. Paneer:
Brought to room temperature and shredded

IV. Heavy Cream (1/2 cup)

Method:

1. Heat oil and add the I. Tadka ingredients.
2. When aromatic, add the II. Onion Tomato paste ingredients starting with onions first, when browned, add the tomato and add a little water and stir until well incorporated. Add the remainder of the II. ingredients and cook for a good half hour until the onions and tomato paste is turned into one big mush. You will have to add a little water at a time to keep the mixture going. At the end the paste should not have any water. Check the seasonings before you add the paneer.
3. Add the paneer and heavy cream.
4. Mix gently keeping the shredded look of the paneer intact. Cook covered on low heat for 5 to 8 minutes.

Serve with naan or roti.

Note: Add heavy cream a little at a time. I have suggested 1/2 cup but add accd to your taste.
