• In a pan add oil and saute the paneer cubes till golden brown. This step is optional.
• Keep it aside.
• In the same pan add finely chopped garlic,slit chili, sugar and spring onion whites.

• Add the veggies. Adding veggies is truly optional. Cook the veggies on high flame for 2 minutes. Let it be crunchy. Add salt.
• Add the paneer cubes.

• Add the cooked rice and mix gently. Add the pepper powder. I added white pepper powder.

• Mix gently without breaking the rice. Add the spring onion greens.

1. Always ensure that the rice is cooked in separate grains.
2. Adding veggies is truly your choice.
3. Frying paneer is always in optional.
4. You can scramble the paneer like how we make for bhurji and add it to the fried rice.
