Ingredients Serving: 4

Cooked Basmati Rice- 2 cups
Capsicum (Red, Yellow and Green)- 1/2 cup
Paneer, cubed - 1/4 cup
Garlic- 10-15 cloves, finely chopped
Red chillies - 5-6
Sugar - 1 tbsp
White pepper powder - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil - 2 tbsp

Instructions

Add the red chillies to boiling water and leave it for 5-7 minutes. Let it cool down and grind to a smooth paste with a little water.
Heat the oil in a pan and add the ground chilli paste. Add about a teaspoon of sugar to it and cook for a couple of minutes, then keep it aside.
Heat some oil in a wok and add in the minced garlic. (You want to fry the garlic until it becomes dark brown in colour. Not black, but brown, this gives it the burnt flavor.)
To this, add in the bell peppers, chilli paste, salt, pepper powder and saute it on a high flame for a minute. Add the paneer and saute for another minute.
Add in the precooked basmati rice and toss it well.
Serve it hot with any side dish of your choice.
