Notes

Instead of kitchen king masala, you can use pav bhaji masala or garam masala. 
Earlier I made this paneer bhurji with garam masala and pav bhaji masala but wasn't satisfied with the taste.
But this kitchen king masala takes this paneer bhurji to the next level. I would highly recommend getting your hands-on kitchen king masala for its awesome taste that blends so well with this bhurji.
Kitchen king masala is available at any Indian grocery store, on amazon.in and amazon.com
