Amritsari paneer bhurji
Ingredients: For besan and dahi mixture — dahi - 1 cup, coriander powder - 1tsp, red chilli powder - 1tsp, garam masala - 1/2tsp, pav bhaji masala - 1tsp, amchur powder - 1/2tsp, haldi - 1/2tsp; paneer - 350 to 400gms, chopped tomatoes - 3, chopped onion - 2, chopped ginger and garlic - 1tsp each, green chillies - 2, butter - 2tbsps, oil - 1tbsps, some fresh coriander, a splash of milk (to adjust consistency); separately — oil - 2tbsps, besan - 2tbsps, kasuri methi - 1tsp, kashmiri red chilli powder - 1/2tsp, salt to taste
Method: Add your dahi in a bowl, followed by the coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, pav bhaji masala, amchur powder and haldi and whisk well till nearly lump free. Add oil to a hot pan followed by the besan, kasuri methi and Kashmiri red chilli powder and whisk till completely blended and cooked through — about 2 to 3 minutes. Add this to the dahi mixture and whisk well again. Now in a separate pan, add oil followed by the butter and let it slightly brown. Saute the chillies, ginger and garlic. Once a little brown and crispy, add in the onions and cook till they start turning pink. Then in go the tomatoes, followed by some salt to taste. Cook this for 3 to 4 minutes. Now add in the besan and dahi mixture and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Mash the paneer over this and add in the coriander, followed by the milk. Give this all a good stir and you're done.
