Delicious Paneer Rice Bowl

Print Recipe

A vibrant and healthy Paneer Rice Bowl, packed with wholesome ingredients and perfect for a satisfying lunch.

Ingredients

  • Basmati Rice (1 cup)
  • Paneer (250 grams)
  • Mixed Vegetables (1 cup, chopped; e.g., bell peppers, carrots, peas)
  • Olive Oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Garam Masala (1 teaspoon)
  • Turmeric Powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Fresh Cilantro (to garnish)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rinsed rice in a pot, add 2 cups of water, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and rice is tender. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before fluffing.
  2. Prepare the Paneer: Slice the paneer into cubes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the paneer and cook until golden-brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and toss in your mixed vegetables. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle in the garam masala, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, add a base of rice. Layer the sautéed veggies and paneer on top, adding pan juices for flavor.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm with yogurt or a light salad.
