Serves -2

Ingredients:

• Basmati rice - 1 cup
• Peas -1/2 cup ( I used frozen peas)
• Paneer -15 - 20 cubes
• Ginger garlic paste -1 tsp
• Onion -1
• Green chilli-2 to 3
• Carrot -1/4 cup chopped ( optional)
• Mint leaves chopped -2 tsp ( optional)
• Salt - To taste 

To temper:

• Oil -2 tbsp
• Cinnamon-1/2 inch piece
• Cumin -1/2 tsp
• Cloves -2
• Cardamom-1

Method:

•  Soak Basmati rice for 20 to 30 mins.
• In a pan add oil and temper with items mentioned.
• Then add onion, ginger garlic paste and green chilli.
• When onion turns transparent add  peas and carrot.
• Cook till veggies are done. Then add salt and 1&1/2 cup water. 
• When water comes to boil add soaked Basmati rice . Close the lid and cook in medium flame till done.
• Stir in between to avoid burnt bottom.
• Shallow fry paneer and add it to the pulao.
• Shallow frying is optional. You can just add paneer after blanching it .

Notes:

•  My onion caramelised so pulao came out brown in colour .😏
• So don't allow the onion to caramelise. You will get a nice white colour pulao.🤗
