Method
Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the cumin and let it splutter. Add the onion and fry for 3 minutes until soft. Add the ginger garlic paste and green chillies and fry for 1 minute.
Add the tomato, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala and salt. Cook for 3 minutes until the tomato turns soft and mushy.
Add the crumbled paneer and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes only, so the paneer stays soft. Add the coriander leaves and lemon juice and turn off the heat.
Heat a tawa on medium heat. Spread butter on both sides of the bread slices and toast them for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden and crisp. Top each toast with the paneer bhurji and serve at once, 2 slices a person.
