Paneer Scramble
An egg free vegetarian breakfast alternative using paneer (or soft tofu for a dairy free option) in place of egg and loads of bold flavours make this one quite addictive! You will probably want to make double.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 red pepper
- 1 jalapeño
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 package Paneer or soft tofu (about 425g or just shy of 2 cups)
Spices
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp corriander powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp salt
- pinch black pepper
- pinch chilli powder
Instructions
- Prep your veggies - dice the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and red peppers. Mince the garlic and ginger. Grate the paneer (or if using tofu - give it a rough dice)
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan or wok with a few tbsp of oil. Add the onions and salt and cook till onions have softened, about 5 mins.
- Add the ginger, garlic, and jalapenos. Cook a few more mins till it becomes fragrant. Add all the spices and stir fry for 1-2 mins till fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes and cook stirring often till the tomatoes start to disintegrate (3-4 mins). If it is looking a bit dry, you can add a few tablespoons of water to help it along.
- Add the red peppers, and paneer. Stir to combine and heat up. About 5 mins.
- Serve warm on some toast or with parathas.
Notes
Make double and turn them into breakfast wraps - roll in tortillas, wrap in some food wrap and freeze or refrigerate for later.
Great for picnics or quick meals on the go.
