Making Paneer at home is not really difficult, but it takes time, effort and clean up. Making Paneer bhurji (crumbles) on the other hand is a breeze.I usually make paneer bhurji in the microwave and it's as easy as it gets.
Ingredients
- quart or more of whole or 2% milk (hormone free please)
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
Place the milk in a microwave safe bowl and set the power to high. Microwave for about 10 minutes or more. Keep an eye on it to check when the milk starts boiling. Once the milk boils, bring the bowl out (using mitts of course!).
Add the vinegar.
Give it a stir with a spoon and the paneer should come together. Use a little more vinegar if need be. Let it sit for a few minutes.
Strain through a sieve
Use in your favorite gravy or dish. I used our favorite Kadhai gravy recipe.

Looks great! I like adding bell peppers to mine and scooping it over hot toast!
That's a great kadhai gravy recipe, think I'll make aloo in it this week.
Where is the toast? Hurry!! :D
looks yummy.
Now that was fast!! :-) Did you make the bhurji in the mwo too?
Ranjani: Thanks, I like peppers in it too sometimes. Hot toast sounds like a good accompaniment.
Asha: Toast? Did you refer to Ranjani's comment? I don't get it.
Uma: Thanks.
Sharmila: Nope, made the kadhai gravy on stove top and added the crumbled paneer right in to it.
Nice gravy recipe....bookmarked :)
thanks for posting this, ive never tried boiling milk in the microwave. its great to see the visuals!
love the recipe and the kadhai gravy recipe is wonderful too. what a great way of making boiling milk!
forgot to ask, does it taste vinegar-y? :-) have you tried adding lemon juice?
Oh this is mom's favorite bhurji.Thanks for simple Home made paneer recipe.
Arundathi: I haven't noticed any vinegar-y after taste. You could certainly rinse the paneer after straining it. I use lemon juice/yogurt to curdle it when making it over stove top (when I'm gonna make paneer cubes). This is just a real fast method for the crumbles or bhurji and the results are just fine with vinegar.
making paneer at home gives me high kicks ;) and ur method of making easy breezy panner burji is really wicked!
I have never been able to make great paneer. With your assurance, I will try once more
that's one delicious dish and easy too with all the goodness of paneer
Looks really good.
Can I use this paneer to make ras malai too?
Meena: I'm not sure actually. I don't really make Ras Malai, so I couldn't tell for sure. I always had the impression that the paneer needs to be abs. smooth for the ras malai to have that perfect texture. I don't think simply straining it would give it that smooth texture. Hmm....you made me want to try it out now.
Hi Bharti
Just got back....thanks for all the tips. Desert safari was great, and I had fun going up and down the creek on abra. Lots of new places around Jumeirah, and I totally loved the street falafel (didn't find the places you mentioned, but I guess you can't go wrong with this one).
a favourite of mine!
This is similar to my ricotta recipe, but I use lemon. Isn't it great how food cuts through all boundaries?
I completely agree that chocolate cake has to be on the list. I'm still trying out recipes but it's so hard to decide :( Got a great recipe for me?
Loved the gravy recipe,paneer bhurji looks yum, looking forward to trying it!
