Steps to Make the High Protein Paneer Bhurji Recipe

1. Make the Masala Base

Heat oil/ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.

Add onions and sauté until light golden. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 30–40 seconds.

2. Add Tomatoes & Spices

Add chopped tomatoes, green chilli, turmeric, red chilli powder, and coriander powder.

Cook until tomatoes soften and the masala becomes thick (oil slightly releases).

3. Add Crumbled Paneer

Add crumbled paneer and mix well. Cook for 2–3 minutes on low flame.

This is where the magic of any good paneer bhurji recipe begins — keep it moist, not dry.

4. Add the Protein Boost

In a small bowl, mix protein powder with warm water to form a smooth slurry.

Lower the flame and stir it into the bhurji gently so the Plant Protein blends evenly without clumping.

5. Final Finishing

Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Mix and cook for 1 minute.

Turn off the heat. Add coriander and optional lemon juice.

6. Optional Extra Protein Lift

If you want an even higher protein version, sprinkle Plantigo Plant Protein Powder for Muscle Gain very lightly (¼ scoop) at the end and mix quickly on very low heat.
