Egg and Cottage Cheese Bhurji

Millions of us have kind of grown up on Egg Bhurji and Paneer or Cottage Cheese Bhurji, considering they are both well established pan-Indian home fast food dishes. A variation of it has been my favorite since childhood, put the two together and make a bhurji out of it. No turmeric is added and the paneer goes first in the wok, are two ground rules, rest all just works out on its own. I also avoid using tomatoes and use puree instead. Here I go with my recipe:

Ingredients I used:

• 250 grams Fresh Paneer/ Cottage Cheese
• 4 eggs
• 2 large Onions, finely chopped
• 1 large Green Bell Pepper
• 2 Green Chilies
• 50 grams White Butter
• 100 grams Solid Stem portion of Spring Onions
• 10 Garlic Cloves chopped
• One 1/2 inch piece of Ginger (finely chopped)
• Cumin seeds
• Kasuri Methi
• 100 ml Tomato Puree
• Fresh Dhania/ Coriander
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Olive oil
