Paneer or cottage cheese is high in protein and low in carbohydrate. Paneer in moderation is good for people with diabetes. The egg is also a good source of protein. Since I added a bunch of vegetables in this recipe, this dish is loaded with protein and fiber and it is low in carbohydrate. That is what makes this dish good for a diabetic dinner.
How to make Egg Paneer Bhurji
Cut the veggies in small pieces. It will not make more than 10 minutes. I added carrots, green beans, tomatoes, red and green bell peppers (capsicums). But you can add other veggies like mushroom, peas, etc. Cutting the veggies will not make more than 10 minutes. Grate the ginger and garlic to make a paste of it.
Paneer comes in slabs from the grocery store. So it needs to be grated. I grated half a slab ion paneer, which yielded 1 cup of grated paneer.
