In a bowl, combine the paneer cubes with salt, chili powder, pepper powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Toss well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, then sauté the finely chopped ginger, garlic, onion, capsicum, and green chili until the onions become transparent.

Add the grated carrots and the white parts of the spring onion for crunch. Season the mixture with salt, pepper powder, garam masala, and chili powder.

Add the cooked basmati rice (or leftover rice) to the pan and gently toss to incorporate everything.

Add the toasted paneer back into the rice and give it a final gentle mix.
