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 tablespoon onion while sauteing the veggies.
- You can even add green chilli sauce.
- Use freshly ground pepper for a great flavor.
- 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 don't use ajino motto, but if you prefer you can add a pinch of it at the final stage to get the exact restaurant flavor.
- Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate. Allow it to rest at least for 30mins.
