Paneer Bhurji with Bell Peppers

My first reaction to this Low-Oil, Healthy Paneer Bhurji with Bell Peppers was simply how colourful and appetizing it was. It is indeed true that we eat with our eyes first. 🙂 And when I tasted this dish, I was simply floored at how delicious it was.

For health reasons, I have been put on a high-protein, high-fibre diet and this recipe is inspired by one of the recipes suggested to me by my nutritionist Manisha Sancheti.

This is an absolutely healthy version of the traditional Paneer Bhurji which uses just 1 tbsp of oil, homemade cow milk paneer, and 3 times as many vegetables as Paneer. The best part is that it tastes absolutely great, so who says diet food has to be bland or boring.

This recipe also helps you incorporate a whole lot of vegetables into your diet in a delicious way and will so appeal to kids and adults alike.
