Mushroom and Pepper Paneer Bhurji : Paneer, capsicum (bell pepper) and mushrooms is a classic combination. It is made with scrambled paneer (Indian cottage cheese), onion, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms and spices. Paneer has a milky flavor on its own, so it taste best when paired with some fresh vegetables. We totally loved this combination so, this is my version of preparing a paneer bhurji with paneer, bell pepper and mushroom. This is an easy & quick recipe that gets done in less than 30 minutes and pairs well with Indian flatbreads like roti, paratha, and Naan!
