Amritsari Paneer Bhurji Recipe | Street Style Paneer Bhurji Gravy with detailed photo and video recipe. A rich and creamy street-style Bhurji recipe prepared with paneer grates and a range of spices. Typically, the bhurji recipe is prepared with egg yolk but this recipe uses paneer grates with a typical onion tomato base. It can be a perfect multipurpose gravy for both rice and any type of roti or naan bread or even with pav bread.

Amritsari Paneer Bhurji Recipe | Street Style Paneer Bhurji Gravy with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Bhurji curry or gravy is a popular street food across India and it is served for myriad reasons. However, there are region-specific variants to this simple curry with the local native goodness. One such Bhurji variant is the Amritsari Paneer Bhurji recipe known for its blend of spices and super creamy and rich flavors.

I have posted the paneer Bhurji gravy recipe but this recipe is an extension. If you have noticed it the gravy is prepared with yogurt. This adds the sour and creaminess to the gravy texture. In addition, I have also added besan to the gravy base. Adding besan or chickpea flour makes the gravy bland; hence, the preparation takes more spices and salt to make it lip-smacking. In addition, besan helps to give a silky smooth texture to the gravy and thus visibly attractive. Generally in the street, the gravy-based Bhurji is served with sandwich or pav bread. But it is not limited to it. I feel it tastes great with garlic naan, kulcha, or tandoori roti but it depends upon individual preferences.

Furthermore, some additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the Amritsari paneer Bhurji recipe. Firstly, adding yogurt is mandatory for street-style Bhurji. However, ensure it is fresh less sour, and thick in texture. This would help to make the gravy more creamy, and rich with balanced flavors. Secondly, use long shaped grate to grate the paneer. Avoid using fine grate as the paneer may get dissolved in the gravy base and you may not get the paneer texture. Lastly, once the gravy is rested, it may get thick due to the combination of paneer and besan. It is best to add water and then bring it to a boil to get the right consistency.
