Instructions

Wash and soak the rice for 15 minutes. Drain the water and add it to a 3-liter pressure cooker. Add water and salt. Cook for 2 whistles (approximately 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let the pressure settle. Open the cooker and transfer the rice to a plate. Let it cool completely.

Heat oil in a pan and add minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Add onion, capsicum, and salt. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the onions are soft. Add the chopped mint leaves and red chili flakes. Add the cubed paneer. Cook for a couple of minutes.

Add the cooked rice, butter, and a little sugar. Toss well to combine. Finish with a generous sprinkling of spring onions.
