Paneer Cheese Ghotala

Paneer Cheese Ghotala is a vegetarian version of the popular Surati (Surat in Gujarat, India) style street food made with eggs. Here the grated paneer is cooked in the onions, tomatoes, garlic, green chili, and spices with butter and cheese . Butter and cheese adds taste and richness to the dish. This gluten free dish can be served hot with paratha, roti or bread or pav. The name ghotala – since different styles of cooked eggs -( boiled, scrambled and half fry), are used to cook. The street food version uses a big flat pan to cook the dish known as tava -the one commonly used to cook pav bhaji. We are using paneer and cheese to make the ghotala. The dish is buttery, cheesy and very tasty and enhances the tastes of the spiced scrambled paneer.

I had used regular garlic but use fresh green garlic if possible. Fresh garlic has good aroma and gives and good flavor to the dish. If you do not have pav bhaji masala just add the normal garam masala.

I had served paneer cheese ghotala with mint missi roti.
