Surali Chi Bhaji

🇮🇳 Indian

Maharashtrian paneer rolls in light tempering, the Kolhapuri breakfast bhaji. The kind of homely bhaji that disappears fastest off the thali. Pile beside phulka and a bowl of cooled yogurt.

Prep 10 min Cook 28 min Serves 4 Easy

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1/2 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Paneer250 g, cubed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the paneer dry and chop it into similar-sized chunks — dry surfaces brown better.

  2. 2

    Soften the onions in oil over a medium flame with a little salt until translucent and sweet.

  3. 3

    Stir in ginger garlic paste and green chili; after a minute add the ground spices with a splash of water so they don't scorch.

  4. 4

    Add the paneer and the turmeric powder, toss to coat in the masala, cover and cook on low, stirring twice, until tender.

  5. 5

    Kill the heat, stir through the cilantro and the green chili, and rest five minutes before serving.

Chef's tip

Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
