Now back to this amazing, quick and delicious one pot recipe. This protein rich rice dish is loaded with paneer, pineapples, cashew nuts and veggies which hits the right chords everytime.
It has a tang and sweetness from the pineapples, slight spiciness from the siracha. Slight crunchiness from the cashew nuts. So all together it is a fantastic combination that you can not resist. And it is a ONE-POT meal.
I have used store bought frozen chopped vegetables which consists of beans, carrots, green peas and sweet corn to make my work much quicker. You can use any vegetable you desire.
If lactose intolerant or vegan then substitute paneer for tofu. You will get yummy results with both.
