Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Corn Capsicum Rice - Sauté Aromatics

   Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped ginger garlic and 2 finely chopped green chillies. Stir fry on high flame until the garlic becomes aromatic.

2. 2.Add Onions and Vegetables

   Add half a finely chopped onion and stir fry on high flame until it's slightly crunchy, ensuring it does not brown. Then, add half a cup of sweet corn, 1 chopped capsicum, and 1 finely chopped carrot. Continue to stir fry on high flame, making sure the vegetables retain their crunch.

3. 3.Season the Vegetables

   Add half a teaspoon of chilli flakes, 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs, half a teaspoon of pepper powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of chilli sauce, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Toss on high flame until the spices are aromatic and well combined with the vegetables.

4. 4.Combine with Cooked Rice

   Add 6 cups of cooked rice to the pan. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients. Continue to toss on high flame for a few minutes to achieve a smoky, restaurant-style flavor and ensure everything is well combined.

5. 5.Prepare Hot Chilli Garlic Paneer Sauce - Fry Paneer

   Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a separate pan. Add 10 paneer cubes and roast them until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, while remaining soft on the inside. Drain the fried paneer and set it aside.

9. 9.Thicken the Sauce

   Add half a cup of corn flour slurry (prepared by mixing 1 teaspoon of corn flour in 1/2 cup of water) to the sauce. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps. Cook the sauce, stirring continuously, until it thickens and becomes smooth and glossy.
