Paneer Fried Rice

Don’t cry over a cuddled milk, new saying declared here. Initially I used to get irritated seeing Milk go waste, especially here in Indian summer. If you miss keeping it refrigerator even my ten minutes, milk start producing this thick curd type of substance.

But now I’ve learnt to deal with this. I use the thick curd thing as a paneer and the remaining water – called whey in chapati dough. If you want to intentionally prepare paneer, check out here.
So I had by chance prepared Paneer at my home, and I prepared this hybrid rice dish and christened it as Paneer Fried Rice. :)
