1. Choose paneer carefully

3. Chop ingredients finely

In a bhurji, the ingredients need to be minced properly or it will become a sabzi preparation. Finely chop them before cooking them together.

5. Enhance with malai

Malai (cream) can improve the thickness and creaminess of your paneer bhurji. It also helps in binding the other ingredients well.

6. Control oil quantity

Avoid adding too much oil/ ghee to your bhurji or the final result may become a gravy. Moreover, malai already lends extra fat to the dish.

Roast kasuri methi on a low flame and crush the particles with your fingers as you top the bhurji with this final element.
