- Add finely chopped tomatoes. Add a splash of water, cover and cook till tomatoes soften.
- Once tomatoes are cooked, add the spiced curd mixture and give it a mix.
- Cook this mixture till oil seperates from the masala.
- Meanwhile, grate or crumble paneer.
- Once the oil separates from the besan-curd mixture, add 1/4th cup of water.
- Adding water ensures the paneer is coated evenly with the masala.
- Add the paneer and mix gently.
- Add kitchen king masala powder and salt to taste. If you do not get kitchen king masala, use garam masala powder instead. Mix everything.
- Add 1/4th cup of water again. Amritsari Paneer Bhurji is slightly gravy-based, hence add water as per the consistency you prefere.

- Add kasuri methi, cover and simmer for further 2-3 mintues.
- Delicious & creamy Amritisari Paneer Bhurji is ready.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
