For the paneer bhurji (scrambled paneer):
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon crushed coriander seeds
1/2 tablespoon crushed cumin seeds
1 tablespoon shredded ginger root
1 to 2 serrano peppers, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
1 cup finely diced shallots
1 cup finely diced red bell peppers, or any sweet pepper
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 14- ounces block paneer cheese, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon garam masala (Indian spice mixture)
1 pinch salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped, to serve
For the tawa toast (buttered toast):
8 slices artisan white bread
1/2 to 1 cups good quality salted butter, softened, to serve

1
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the cumin and coriander until they emit an aroma. Add the ginger and serrano peppers, give the pan a good swirl, and add the shallots and cook until they become translucent.
2
Add the sweet peppers and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes soften. Add in the crumbled paneer, garam masala, and salt. Stir, lower the heat, cover, and allow to cook for another 10 minutes.
3
Uncover and check to see how much moisture the crumbled paneer still retains. If it looks soggy, increase the heat and evaporate the excess moisture.
4
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with cilantro, and make the tawa toast.
5
Butter each of the eight slices on one side.
6
Heat the cast iron griddle. Place the slices of bread, buttered side down, on the griddle and toast until the buttered side is golden brown.
7
Serve the toast with the warm paneer bhurji. The dish tends to get hard when it gets cold, so enjoy it immediately.
