Paneer Burji

We were at the Indian Store, and we found a good, fresh block of Paneer. I simply could not resist buying it and I am glad I did! I usually do not prefer paneer when I am at a restaurant because of the deep frying process. However, this Burji has been something I have been meaning to make for S and he has now fallen in love with this! I am certain this will be one of the dishes he demands for a while at least. Get some store bought Naans and you are set!

Panner: 250Gms, Grated
Oil: 1 tablespoon
Onion: 1 medium, chopped finely.
Green Chilli: 2 chopped fine

-Heat a pan with some oil and add the onion and green chilli. Saute with some salt.
-Once done, add the bell pepper and the masalas and stir for a minute.

-Add the Grated paneer and stir well until combined.
