Paneer Bhurji/Tofu Crumble Stir Fry

A very quick and easy recipe of paneer which is always a hit in every party. With few ingredients and no ginger- garlic to peel and chop, this recipe comes together in no time. This is my daughters favorite sabzi followed by Ma ki dal/dal Makhni and No Onion garlic Dum Aloo.

My daughter made this for a party of 25-30 people at my house recently. She will be going away to college next year and I thought it would help her if she knew how to cook a few things-especially her favorite dishes. Of course I appreciated her help. While she cooked, I took pictures and a video of her cooking. So if a teenager can cook this recipe, you know its an easy dish to prepare!

It was encouraging when all the guests praised her cooking and asked her for the recipe. I could tell she was really enjoying her spotlight moment. I have included below the measurements that you would need to make for a large crowd/party.

Moving on to the recipe, here is the written recipe followed by the step by step pictorial one-

My measurements for a party of 25-30 people

10 cups/1200 gms/ 2.5 pounds of grated paneer
