What is Paneer bhurji?
Indian cottage cheese is paneer and bhurji means scrambled so this dish is basically paneer scrambled and cooked along with onion, tomato, ginger garlic paste and spices. Paneer bhurji tastes so delicious and can be used as a filling for sandwiches and wraps too.
Paneer bhurji can be made in few ways but this recipe is quick to make. For vegan version you can replace paneer with tofu. This is one of the side dishes I often make to go with chapathi and pack it for kids lunchbox too. I make paneer bhurji with homemade paneer and it tastes so good as the texture of homemade paneer is so soft. This time I tried with storebought paneer, and still it tasted good. One important tip is to make the dish moist and not too dry.
Dry paneer bhurji is just the term used to differentiate between gravy and dry. Otherwise this dish should be moist and juicy which tastes the best.
Paneer : Paneer is the star ingredient for this recipe. So use fresh soft paneer either homemade or storebought. That is the key to get moist juicy tasty paneer bhurji.
Spices : Usual indian spice powders like turmeric, red chilli powder and garam masala powder. Mostly I use homemade spice powders to get fresh flavours.
Ginger garlic paste : I used homemade ginger garlic paste. If you do not have, crush ginger and garlic roughly using mortar and pestle and add it.
Onion & tomato : Freshly cut onion and tomatoes are used for this recipe. Onion should be cut finely and sauted till golden. Tomatoes can be roughly chopped and added, it should be sauted until mushy and raw smell leaves.
Garnish : Add coriander leaves and kasoori methi as garnish which enhances the flavour a lot.

Dabeli is a desi street food with pav buns, a popular snack in India. It has a spicy potato masala stuffing and many elements, making it tempting and addictive!
This popular street food can be prepared with less effort and hygienically at home. Recipe adapted from here.
Dabeli is actually orginated from Kutch, regional food at Gujarat, but widely available in most of the north Indian states. So it is also called Kutchi dabeli too.
I have recreated this in my own style with available ingredients here. Traditional recipe may vary.
It’s quite a process but worth to try a new cuisine. Perfect for get togethers and parties as well.

Ingredients
This snack needs some planning and preparations to make it easy. Chutneys can be made prior and refrigerated.
Though everything from sev, pav buns and dabeli masala can be homemade, I used store bought.
But also have given the recipe to prepare homemade ones.
Pav buns
Potato
Pomegranate
Peanuts
See recipe card for quantities.
Lehsun chutney
This is a raw one that can be used for such chaat items, sandwiches, wraps too.
The Dabeli spice mix can be stored up to 3 months in fridge. The chutneys can be made well ahead too.
After assembling, it is best to serve immediately as there are many crisp factors like peanuts and sev.
Top tip
Please take a note of the number of servings and adjust measurements as needed for your family.
The masala peanut may be on stronger side, but it goes well together with the dabeli.
While making dabeli masala at home, use degi mirch or Kashmiri chilli for bright color. You can use red chilli powder as well along with amchoor, instead of using whole ones.

Add oil and other spice powders.
Mix well carefully without burning it.
Add peanuts to this and toss well.

Wash potatoes firstly and cut into 4. Add water enough to immerse it. Pressure cook for 3 whistles.
Once done, peel off the skin. Mash well and set aside.
Heat a pan with oil. Temper with cumin seeds and asafoetida. In goes the dabeli masala.
Stir on low heat. Pour the sweet chutney.

Assembling
Gather all ingredients needed.
Slit the pav buns, leaving it intact at one end. Smear generous amount of sweet chutney.
Over that, slather the potato filling we prepared.
On top of it, sprinkle some masala peanuts and chopped onion.
Again top it with sweet chutney. Spread lehsun chutney on the closing side of the bun.
Close it to cover.
Heat a pan with a teaspoon of butter in low heat. Toast all the sides including the masalas exposed on the sides.
No need to cook for too long, but just for few seconds each side.
