Mutter Paneer Burji

  

Paneer Burji was introduced to me by my friend Ajay who is from Himachal. One day he brought it for lunch and asked me to taste and guess what it was. It looked like Egg burji but tasted different. He said it was Paneer. From that time I make it often and love the texture and taste. The result is best with homemade paneer.

Adding mutter to paneer burji will add some volume and beautiful color.
