Paneer Burji/Scrambled Cottage Cheese

I know all of you are familiar with scrambled eggs, but I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with scrambled cottage cheese. An Indian favourite with rotis and very easy to prepare. If you dont make rotis you can serve it with wholemeal bread and you wont be disappointed. If you like it spicy you can add a chopped green chilli as well.
Tip- Dont overcook the cottage cheese. If overcooked it turns chewy and loses its soft texture. So for best results in a paneer preparation always add it last and take it off the heat once you have stirred well.
