Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, add 2 cups of basmati rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Paneer

    Cut the paneer into cubes. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the paneer cubes and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then add chopped mixed bell peppers, chopped tomatoes, and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft.

  4. 4

    Add Spinach and Chickpeas

    Add the spinach and cooked chickpeas to the pan. Stir well and cook until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes.

Seasoning
