Ingredients

• 3 cups - cooked basmati rice
• 1.5 cups (about 200 g) - paneer, cubed
• 1 - onion, sliced
• 1 - bell pepper, julienned
• 1 - celery, thinly sliced into matchsticks
• 3 - spring onions, sliced - whites and greens separated
• 1 - carrot, julienned
• 1/2 tbsp - butter
• 1 tsp - sesame oil
• 1 tbsp - soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Few sprigs of cilantro to garnish

How to Make Paneer Fried Rice

• Cube paneer, place in a bowl and pour some boiling water on top - enough to cover the paneer.
• Let it sit for about 30 seconds or so and drain the water - make the paneer soft but it also gets rid of impurities, if any.
• Heat a wok medium - high heat and when hot, add butter and oil.
• Drop the paneer and saute it for 1 min or so.
• Stir it occasionally until you see it browned/golden.
• It is enough even if it's only one side.
• Increase the heat to a little less than high and drop the onion along with the paneer.
• Keep stirring for 10-15 seconds and then add the carrots, bell pepper, celery and onion whites.
• Stir until you find the vegetables softening lightly.
• The vegetables should still be crisp.
• Next add the soy sauce and keep stirring until the sauce is well combined.
• Next add the rice. Stir to combine. Add pepper.
• Remove from heat, sprinkle with spring onion greens and cilantro.
