1

Gather all the ingredients for the paneer bhurji. Finely chop the onions, tomatoes, and green chilies. Prepare the ginger-garlic paste.

Grate half of the paneer and crumble the other half by hand.
3

Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida, and let them sizzle. Add the chopped green chilies and ginger-garlic paste, and sauté.

Add the finely chopped onions. Once the onions are well sautéed, add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. You can also add finely chopped bell pepper at this stage if you like (optional).
5
