Paneer Bhurji is scrambled homemade cheese cooked with onion, tomato, peas, ginger, garlic, and in my case, a good dose of turmeric. It was garnished with chopped cilantro. The scramble was quite a bit like scrambled egg but with more of a chew. The onion slices still had some crunch to them, which I liked. I ordered it spicy. It was a somewhat drier dish, but it was so tasty that it was mouthwatering. I had it with ajwain paratha, which is an Indian whole wheat flatbread that was folded over and had ajwain seeds inside. Ajwain, known as carom in English, supposedly tastes like caraway, but I found those small seeds to be more like a cross between caraway and mint. They are known to greatly enhance digestion, and now I believe it. This Indian restaurant is in my home town, and a number of people recommended it. My dish was too big for me (what you see is just half of it), but it was so delicious that I ate it all anyway.
