Paneer Bhurji

This is a quick fix healthy dish. Just heavenly with hot rotis.
You need:
Paneer (cottage cheese) - 250 gms - crumble it with your hands
Onions - 2 medium - finely chopped
Tomatoes - 2 medium - finely chopped
A handful of boiled green peas (optional)
A handful of finely chopped capsicum (optional)
Green chilly -1 finely chopped (add 2 if you want to spice it up)
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp (or 1 if you are really looking for low oil)
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
Red chilly powder - 1 tsp (or spice it up if want)
Salt

How to:
Heat oil in a pan (preferably non stick if you are using less oil). Temper the cumin seeds and add the onions. Fry till they start turning brown. Add the peas and capsicum if you are using them and cook for a minute. Add the tomatoes and cook till soft. Add all the remaning ingredients except paneer and cook till the oil leaves sides. You will have to stir often to avoid the mixture sticking at the bottom of the pan. Add the paneer in the end and mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot :)
