For as long as I can remember, I have always been a muncher. You know, the kinds who can nosh through meal times over little bites of delicious finger food. Growing up, I clearly remember warm summer afternoons, or even cold winter ones for that matter, where we would often substitute our dinner for a platter of the most guilt-ridden snacks. Lovely fritters deep-fried till crisp and drowned in a tangy chutney, smoky char-grilled tikkas and kebabs, scrumptious sandwiches with the most amazing fillings – like this Paneer Bhurji recipe, and of course, my personal favourites of deliciously spiced street foods. As I grew older, my love for noshing grew wider, incorporating in it varied flavours, from every cuisine I ever had a go at. Friday nights for me meant junk night – wherein, strictly avoiding a proper 3-course meal for dinner, I would instead opt for a plateful of wings, fries, or on many occasions, samosas. It was the only way I knew how to have a Friday night meal. Anything else seemed totally hideous. When I first met Hubby Dear, I was super excited to know that like me, he too grew up in a household where good food, and noshing was of high priority. Truly, matches are made in Heaven, but I’d like to believe that ours was cooked up in a 5-star kitchen filled with all things a culinary goddess could only dream of having. With Little Dude in tow now, our Friday nights are not much different from those of a few years ago. There’s no denying the kid is a foodie, and good, tasty food like this Paneer Bhurji is just what gets him going! This past weekend, for Diwali, I wanted to indulge in something that wouldn’t leave me feeling guilt-ridden – and this Paneer Bhurji recipe was just perfect!
