Easy Paneer Bhurji | Grated Paneer Stir Fry
Paneer bhurji or scrambled paneer is a quick & yummy, semi-dry side dish made using grated paneer, sautéed in oil with spices, onions, tomatoes, and herbs. It’s a great side dish to eat whole wheat rotis/chapatis and naan with, or you can top it on your toast to make a quick meal.
Grating paneer is the only (slightly) time-consuming task here. With that ready, the recipe takes just about 10 minutes. As far as paneer or cottage cheese, you can make it fresh at home or if you can’t be bothered like me, ensure to buy good quality paneer from your nearest store and use that. If you like you can even include vegetables such as green peas, spinach, etc., besides the onion and tomatoes.

Vegetable Clear Soup with Broccoli, Mushroom, and Sweet Corn
Who else is always ready for a warm bowl of soup filled with vegetables? Hi there, fellow soup lover!
This vegetable soup made with broccoli, button mushrooms and sweet corn is a house favorite here. By favorite I mean the weekly-twice-for-dinner kinds. And this is irrespective of season, I’m not even kidding!
It’s a simple and hassle-free recipe, requiring minimal ingredients. Sometimes I include other vegetables along, such as edamame, carrots, Bok choy and switch button mushrooms with shiitake, or Portobello mushrooms. They all go together really well. For the stock, I prefer adding cubes and here I have used plant-based and gluten-free veggie stock cubes, which I love that they add so much flavor to the soup. But if you don’t feel the need, skip it and just add hot water instead. Same with the corn slurry – include it if you like a slightly thicker soup, else skip it. At the same time remember that including stock and corn slurry does add great flavors.

- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 litre hot water
- 1½ tbsp light soy sauce
- salt to taste
- black pepper powder to taste
- 1 tbsp corn starch mixed with water(3 tbsp) to make a thick yet flowy slurry
Instructions
- Heat oil in the cooking pot. Add grated ginger and garlic, saute for 30 seconds. Then add sliced onion and saute until they are translucent.
- Crumble the vegetable stock cube with your fingers, and add it into the pot. Saute for 20 seconds, then pour the hot water in and stir well to mix.
- Add light soy sauce, salt and black pepper powder. Stir to mix well, close the pot lid and allow water to come to a boil.
- Add all vegetables and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Then stir in the corn slurry, and cook for another 2 minutes until the soup thickens a bit. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the soup warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to include carrot, edamame, and bok choy along with these vegetables, they go well together.
- Skip adding the corn slurry if you like a watery soup rather than slightly thick.

5 Easy Paneer Recipes | Indian Paneer Curry
If you are a Paneer lover or someone wanting to try it, this post is for you!
Paneer or Indian cottage cheese is a popular ingredient in north Indian cuisine, used in making appetizers, curries, and parathas. Making fresh paneer at home is pretty easy, but if you don’t want to spend time on it, find yourself a good-quality one at your Indian grocery store.
We eat paneer regularly – almost every week. That is why I prefer buying it. It’s usually 400gm, which is too much for the two of us. Therefore, I usually divide it into two equals and use it on two days. And cooking paneer is easier than it sounds – it literally takes about 3-4 to cook. Alternatively, you can munch (on a small amount) of it without cooking or pan-sear it and use it in salads.
Below are five easy paneer curry recipes that you make for yourself and your family! They are delicious and go well with rotis, chapatis, naan, or flavored rice such as ghee rice, jeera rice, Kashmiri pulao, etc. I hope you like these recipes. Enjoy!
