Notes

  • Firstly, make sure to add milk as it makes the bhurji rich and creamy.
  • Also, adding besan gives a nice thickness to the bhurji recipe.
  • Additionally, do not overcook once adding paneer, or else the paneer will turn rubbery.
  • Finally, Amritsari Paneer Bhurji Recipe tastes great when topped with butter.
