Tomato Paneer Pulav



Tomato Paneer Pulav
Rice, rice , rice. Rice brings me great comfort as it is easy to cook, quick and well, I grew up on it! Variety rice gets a big thumbs up from me as I could get away with one dish and maybe a raita. I saw a tomato paneer pulav in Sanjeev Kapoor's website and thought it was worth trying. For a change, I did fry the paneer in little oil this time and got reminded of how nice fried paneer would be, ofcourse fattening too. Anyway, I used just a spoon of oil to fry the cubed paneer. I liked how the recipe called for pav bhaji masala as it was a good way to use it considering I seldom make pav bhaji. Here is the recipe...
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 cups chopped vegetables
3 cups rice
About 200g of paneer, cut into bite size pieces
2 teaspoon pav bhaji masala
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander powder
2-3 green chillies, slit
2 teaspoon butter
Salt to taste
Cooking oil

Heat some oil and fry the paneer cubes. I did not deep fry but sautéd it until golden brown
 

Heat some oil and butter and add the cumin seeds and allow it to brown and then add the onions and green chillies and fry until soft

Add the tomatoes and cook for couple of minutes

Add vegetables (I used frozen carrots, cauliflower, peas and broccoli) and cook until vegetables are done the tomato is mushy but almost all the water has gone

Add pav bhaji masala and coriander powder and cook until raw smell goes. You could add some chilly powder if you desire

Add required salt and then add the cooked rice and fried paneer, mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve
