Paneer Fried Rice Recipe

Paneer fried rice recipe with step by step photos.Paneer fried rice is mittus favourite,She loves both paneer and fried rice so paneer fried rice is obviously her favorite too.Hubby can have fried rice even daily…yes he is crazy after any fried rice recipes and his staple order in restaurants will egg / veg fried rice. I like it too but seeing the amount of oil they use in restaurants and while eating with hands you can feel the oil and I feel really guilty to eat fried rice at restaurants so I limit myself with my ever favorite Naan/ Roti with any gravy.

I usually find making fried rice easy than any other south indian meal, as once the chopping part is done your fried rice will be ready in no time so when there is demand for fried rice at home I never miss it 🙂

Sidedish Recipes which pairs well with fried rice :

  • Gobi manchurian
  • Baby corn manchurian, Baby corn manchurin gravy
  • Chilli paneer
  • Veg Balls Manchurian
  • Mushroom Manchurian

Paneer Fried Rice Recipe

My Notes:

  • I reduced the quantity of veggies and added more paneer.But don’t skip spring onions as it gives a good amount of chinese flavour to the fried rice.
  • You can add 2 tbsp onion while sauteing the veggies.
  • You can even add green chilli sauce.
  • Use freshly ground pepper for a great flavour.
  • You can even crumble or grate the paneer and add it but in that case you will have to add it raw.I prefer toasting and adding.
  • Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavour and also retains its crunchiness without the raw smell.
  • I soaked basmati rice for 15 mins then pressure cooked for 1:1.5 ratio(rice:water) for 3 whistles in medium low flame.
  • I dont use ajino motto, but if you prefer you can add a pinch of it at the final stage to get the exact restaurant flavour.
  • Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate.Allow it to rest atleast for 30mins.
