Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin (jeera) seeds and let them splutter.
Next, add the ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, and fry for a minute.
Add the onions and saute till they are soft and transparent.
Next, add the finely chopped tomatoes, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala and mix well. Cook until tomatoes are soft and mushy.
Add the chopped broccoli and cook covered for 1-2 minutes till they are tender.
Then add crumbled paneer and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Finally, add lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves and switch off the flame.
Broccoli Paneer bhurji is ready and can be served with roti, naan, rice.

Using homemade paneer will give you the best results since it will be softer than the store-bought paneer.
If you have leftover bhurji, you can also use it as a filling for stuffed paratha, puff pastry, sandwich.
You can replace broccoli with either spinach or kale or just make simple paneer bhurji.
Vegans can follow the same recipe and replace paneer with extra-firm tofu.
Replace pav bhaji masala with garam masala to give it a twist.
