Title: Paneer Bhurji (Scrambled Indian Cheese)
Categories: Indian
Yield: 2 Servings

8 oz Paneer (250 g);
- at room temperature
1 sm Potato (very small); boiled
4 tb Mustard oil
1/3 c Onions; finely chopped
1 cl Garlic; finely chopped
3/4 c Tomatoes; finely chopped
2 Thai green chiles; up to 3,
- finely chopped,
- adjust to tolerance
1/4 ts Turmeric powder
Fresh ginger (1/2"); minced
1 ts Kasuri methi (dry fenugreek
- leaves); heaping
1/4 ts Garam masala
1 pn Chaat masala (optional)
Salt; to taste
1 tb Fresh lime juice;
- or to taste
Fresh cilantro;
- chopped, for garnish

Note:

You could add up some flavorful stock (up to 1/4 cup) to this recipe
and simmer for few extra minutes if you feel that its on the dry
side. This depends on how soft/watery your paneer variety is. You
might or might not need it at all.

Crumble up or roughly grate the paneer depending on how chunky you
like it. I just use my fingers to break little bits. Set aside. Peel
the boiled potato & finely grate it. Set aside

In a medium saute pan/kadhai, heat up the oil. If using mustard oil,
heat up until smoky & then let cool off for 2 minutes or so. Once the
oil has cooled, on medium heat add the onions and garlic, saute
until soft and starting to turn light brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes next along with the green chiles. Also add the
turmeric powder and a pinch of salt. Cook until tomatoes soften and
you see oil separating on the sides. About 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the grated potato & ginger at this point along with kasuri methi.
Stir thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes. You will start
smelling the aroma of ginger & methi.

Lower the heat and add the crumbled paneer next along with salt to
taste, garam masala & chaat masala, if using. Saute everything for
another 1 to 2 minutes on low heat until the paneer just about
softens, put the stove off. Add lemon juice and combine.

Serve warm garnished with cilantro with bread slices or paratha.
