Last Updated on September 29, 2021

Paneer bhurji is a popular North Indian side dish made with scrambled paneer or indian cottage cheese. This is a very simple recipe for paneer bhurji quick to make and tastes so delicious. Lets get on to learn to make paneer bhurji recipe with step by step pictures and video.paneer bhurji recipePaneer bhurji is very simple and easy to make takes just few minutes to put together. This is the easiest and quickest paneer bhurji recipe that I have tried hence sharing it here.

There are no fancy ingredients in this recipe, just grab few available ingredients in your pantry and you are good to go to make easy paneer bhurji recipe.

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 bhurji goes well with with roti, phulka or even with jeera rice, pulao.

Ingredients

  • 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 recipe | Indian street food

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!

dabeli recipe
Dabeli, popular Indian street food

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.

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

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.

lehsun chutney, sweet chutney
Chutneys for dabeli
  • 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.

lehsun chutney north Indian
Spicy and flavorful

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Garlic
  • 6 Dry red chillies
  • 1 teaspoon Kala namak (Black salt)
  • ¼ teaspoon Bhuna jeera powder (roasted cumin seeds, powdered)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Soak red chillies in hot water for 30 mins. Mean while peel garlic and gather other ingredients.

Place everything in blender and little water. Grind to smooth paste. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

place in mixie

According to your spice level/ chilli variety you can increase or decrease the numbers. Mine is medium spice chilli.

You can also add a dash of sugar to balance the taste.

ground

This can be kept in fridge and used for 10 days.

Dabeli masala in Singapore

I got mine online from a Maharashtrian online shop called Sushaadi. Please Google to find the shop.

Sushaadi sells many such Indian products

You can also prepare at home. Below are the ingredients needed for homemade dabeli masala:

  • 6 Red Chillies (Kashmiri/ Degi mirch)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame
  • 2 tablespoon Dry Coconut
  • ¼ cup Coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Cumin Seeds
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 2 Cinnamon, small
  • 1 Star anise
  • 2 Cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Black Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Amchur Powder
  • 4 tablespoon Sugar (Mix later)
  • 2 tablespoon oil (Mix later)

2. I added roasted coconut later.

3. Roast until golden and flavorful (Cumin just starts to crack). Cool down completely.

4. After that, add black salt, amchoor powder

5. Grind together to a powder.

6. Mix sugar and little oil to resemble wet sand. I used pulse option in mixie to mix.

sugar oil

7. Store and use this up to a months in fridge and use as needed. Gives approximately ½ cup masala.

My notes

The potato masala’s taste fully depends on the Dabeli masala you use. So choose a good quality one.

Homemade is very flavorful.

I use scrapped coconut, but traditionally thin grated coconut is used in street shops.

Have seen some shops even using apple or pineapple in place of pomegranate.

I initially thought there is green chutney element in this, but it is not always used. But while serving Aj, I used it as well.

Video

Is video more your thing? Watch the dabeli recipe video in my Youtube channel.

Storage

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.
