Directions
Step 1
Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the onions and sauté until golden brown.
Step 3
Add ginger garlic paste and green chilies to the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook until soft.
Step 4
Add paneer cubes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and garam masala, mixing well. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the paneer to absorb flavors.
Step 5
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add salt to taste.
Step 6
In a separate pot, cook the soaked rice until 70% done. Layer the rice over the paneer mixture, cover, and cook on low heat for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with raita or a salad.
