Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Rice

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

2

Cook the Base

In a large pot, heat ghee or oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

3

Add Aromatics

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Add the diced tomato and cook until softened.

4

Spice It Up

Add turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt to the pot. Mix well to combine with the base.

5

Combine Rice and Vegetables

Add the drained rice, peas, and diced carrots to the pot. Gently stir to coat the rice with the spices.

6

Cook the Rice

Pour in the water and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

7

Add Paneer

Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the cubed paneer and chopped cilantro. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

8

Serve

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
