Bhuna means continuously stirring in fat. Paneer Bhuna is as the suggests, paneer is cooked in sautéed onions, yogurt, basic spices and then roasted masala spices. Onion is the main ingredient in this dish. Shahi jeera brings the light floral flavor to balance the other flavors. Hung curds or greek yogurt adds the richness and sourness which also balances the other flavors when assembled in a roll. We won’t need any chutneys or raw onions.. anything, because the yogurt we use takes care of every need.

Notes

Instead of using ginger garlic paste and chilly paste, you can grind and use the paste of ginger garlic and green chillies.
You may use more all purpose flour than wheat flour for dough. I used more wheat flour.
If using all purpose flour more, you need to knead the dough very well for few minutes.
There won’t be any need of chutney or cut onions when serving. Greek yogurt takes care of all the needs.
