Paneer Fried Rice

               I tasted paneer fried rice for the first time at a restaurant in Bangalore. My family loves it and I have prepared it many times since then.
               For this recipe, I have used store bought paneer. You can also use fresh home made paneer for making this fried rice. You can use either sona masoori or basmati rice. Refrigerating the cooked rice will prevent it from getting mushy.
I served it with Gobi Manchurian.

Ingredients:

200 grams paneer, grated
1 cup rice
1 Green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 Carrot, finely chopped
1 Onion, sliced
2 Spring onions, chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp malt vinegar
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

Cook rice by adding enough salt and 1 tsp of oil in plenty of water until soft but not mushy. Once cooked, drain the excess water. Once it comes to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a wok, add sliced onions and chopped spring onion whites. Fry until translucent.
Add carrots and bell pepper and fry until tender. Add soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Add grated paneer and mix.
Add rice and toss it well. Cook until the rice is heated through and everything comes together.
Garnish it with spring onion greens and freshly ground pepper.
Serve.
