Paneer Pav Bhaji is a delicious variation of the classic Pav Bhaji, incorporating rich and creamy paneer (Indian cottage cheese) into the flavorful vegetable mash. The bhaji is made by cooking a mix of vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and bell peppers, which are then mashed together and seasoned with a blend of spices, including pav bhaji masala, cumin, and garam masala. The addition of paneer adds a creamy texture and enhances the dish’s nutritional value. Served with soft, buttered pav (bread rolls) that are toasted until golden, this dish is often garnished with fresh chopped onions, coriander, and a squeeze of lemon for added zest. Paneer Pav Bhaji is a delightful and hearty meal perfect for any time of day.
