PANEER BHURJI

Each time the milk curdles, it was an oppurtunity to make my favorite paalkova or rasagullah. But this time it curdled, i decided to make something different. aAnd that's where i decided to do PANEER BHURJI.
Its a simple dish and a vegetarian alternative to SCRAMBLED EGGS.
Here is the recipe for PANEER BHURJI:

INGREDIENTS:
paneer or senna or cottage cheese got from 1 liter of milk.
1 big onion finely chopped
1-2 green chillies finely chopped
1tsp mustard
1tsp urad dal
1tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
a few coriander leaves for garnishing

PREPARATION:
heat 3tsp oil in a kadai and when its hot add the mustard and urad dal and saute for a minute. add the finely chopped onions and saute till translucent. next, add the chopped chillies and saute for another minute. add salt, chilli powder and turmeric powder and mix well. then add the paneer and mix it well with the onion and chilli mixture. no need to add more oil as the oiliness of the paneer is more than enough. crumble the paneer before adding it to the mixture or with the spoon after adding it.
serve garnished with coriander leaves.
optionally tomatoes (1) and capsicum (1) can be added to this dish too.

tastes good as filling for chappatis, puris and sandwiches

LABNEH

Labneh is strained yogurt and has a cheeselike consistency. It makes a great alternative to sour or cream cheese. Spread it on bread, bagels, or fresh pita. It is popular for breakfast in the Middle East.
Ingredients:
3 cups plain yogurt
1 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
In a medium bowl, combine yogurt and salt.

Place mixture in the middle of large cheesecloth. Bring the sides of the cheesecloth together, making a pouch. Tie the "pouch" with string or twist tie.

Hang in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours with a bowl underneath to catch the whey. You can tie the pouch to a rack in the refrigerator and place a bowl on the shelf below to catch.
