while the paneer bhurji is often served and enjoyed with roti or chapathi, i use the leftover bhurji for my breakfast and snacks. this crumbled paneer recipe can also be sandwiched between 2 breads slice with some sliced tomatoes and onions. this can be ideal breakfast recipe and i even grill it, to prepare the grilled bhurji paneer sandwich recipe. further, the leftover bhurji can also be stuffed within a roti, or chapathi to prepare roll or paneer bhurji frankie. i improvise it by adding some chopped carrots and onions with maggie hot and sweet tomato ketchup.
furthermore some important tips and considerations while preparing this dry paneer bhurji recipe. firstly, always use fresh and moist homemade paneer for this recipe. there are 2 advantages to this, one it can be easily crumbled and the bhurji would not be dry. secondly, preparing the bhurji should not take more than 10 mins, so it is always recommended to prepare it just before serving. lastly, to make it even more spicier, add 1 tsp of pav bhaji masala with other spices. i have not added it and i have kept it simple, but you are more than welcome to add it.
