RECIPE NOTES

1. I made this using rapeseed oil, but you can make it in butter or ghee to make it richer.
2. I added water to this bhurji, but you can replace the same amount of water with milk.
3. I am making this dhaba style Punjabi paneer bhurji, that?s why I added bell pepper aka capsicum, but you can omit this.
