Recipe- Easy To Make Paneer Fried Rice

Paneer fried rice recipe with step by step photos.Paneer fried rice is mittus favourite,She loves both paneer and fried rice so paneer fried rice is obviously her favorite too.Hubby can have fried rice even daily, yes he is crazy after any fried rice recipes and his staple order in restaurants will egg / veg fried rice. I like it too but seeing the amount of oil they use in restaurants and while eating with hands you can feel the oil and I feel really guilty to eat fried rice at restaurants so I limit myself with my ever favorite Naan/ Roti with any gravy.
