Paneer Fried Rice Recipe | How To Make Paneer Fried Rice:

Paneer fried rice is a very easy one pot meal recipe which can be made in a jiffy. Yes. One day my hubby went for his friend's marriage in Kerala. I had to cook only for me and my kid. I opened my fridge to see what to prepare for lunch. There was crumbled paneer sitting for more than 3 days. Immediately I decided to make paneer fried rice.

About the taste:

Tastes great with nicely coated olive oil. Tomato sauce, Carrot and sugar gives sweetness. Drop capsicum if you want only sweet flavor.

Quite easy and very tasty. You need to chop only onion, carrot and capsicum. Crumbled paneer or finely cut paneer cubes works well. Great for lunch and dinner. Serve it for guests, kids to delight them easily. Best for bachelors and to pack in lunchbox.
