Paneer Toast


Weekends are always time to break away from regular meals and experiment with something new. I, for one love to try out new recipes for breakfast and also a Sunday evening snack because I like to skip dinner and have a light snack i.e. wholesome, delicious to taste and quick to make. Paneer Bhurji on Toast is one such snack which makes a terrific breakfast or a Sunday evening light meal.
Ingredients:

• 250 gms. Paneer finely chopped
• 1 medium sized onion finely chopped
• 2 medium sized tomatoes finely chopped
• ½” piece ginger finely chopped
• 2 green chillies finely chopped
• ¼ tsp. oregano (if not available ¼ tsp. cummin seeds)
• Coriander leaves finely chopped
• ½ tsp coriander powder
• 6-8 slices of bread
• 3 tbsps. melted butter or oil
• Butter for Toasts (optional)
• Salt to taste

Procedure:
Heat butter / oil in a kadai. Add oregano / cummin seeds. When they stop spluttering, reduce flame and add green chillies and ginger. Stir for a minute or two. Add onions and stir for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cover for a few minutes. When tomatoes are soft and well blended with onion, add Paneer and all other ingredients. Stir and cover. Keep on lowest flame for 3-5 minutes. Remove and keep aside. Toast bread in a toaster or on a non stick pan. Apply a little butter and spread cooked paneer on each toast. Cut each toast into halves diagonally. Serve hot with crisp potato wafers.
