Notes

  1.  Rice can be cooked in instant pot/ pressure cooker
  2.  Fried onions can be added to garnish
  3.  Soya chunks is optional. Fried Paneer can be used instead. Fry paneer separately and add it after cooking rice
  4. Ginger garlic paste can be used instead of whole ginger and garlic
  5. If you are using regular soya chunks cooking time may vary
  6.  Squeeze the water in soya well
  7.  Bay leaves can be used while tempering. I forgot while taking video recipe
  8. Adjust the green chili according to your spice
  9. Paste can be ground without sauting . In that case while cooking the paste add extra oil and sauté till raw smell goes off
  10. If you are using fresh corn skip the
    Third step
  11. Rice cooking time may vary
  12. Mint/ coriander leaves can be added for extra flavour
