Matar Paneer Bhurji

What makes this dish special

Matar Paneer Bhurji is a traditional Indian dish that's simple to make but tastes great. This recipe uses crumbled paneer, which is Indian cheese, and peas. The paneer used in this recipe is a byproduct of making ghee, but store-bought paneer works just as well. This recipe is a zero-waste dish, as all the byproducts of making ghee can be used in other dishes. The dish is cooked with simple spices like turmeric, coriander, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Milk is added to give it a creamy texture. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It can be served with roti or paratha, or even used as a filling for toast or sandwiches.
