Cooking Steps
Method
Step 1 :
Soak basmati rice for 15-30 minutes.
Step 2 :
In the vessel meant for cooking the rice, first heat ghee on low flame and fry the cinnamon and cardamom for 30-45 seconds. Stop as soon as the spices start releasing aroma.
Step 3 :
Immediately add the strained soaked rice, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and sugar. The rice is not to be strained after cooking. Only if required, add some water.
Step 4 :
Cook on slow-medium flame for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is properly cooked. The mixture may be stirred gently for 1-2 times while cooking, but do not stir too often.
Step 5 :
After the rice is cooked, take it off flame and leave it covered for 5-10 minutes.
Step 6 :
The cooked rice (for serving) will be slightly starchy, which is normal/expected. Coconut Pineapple Rice is ready to serve.
Method
Step 1 :
Cut paneer into small cubes.
Step 2 :
In a pan, heat the oil and add star anise, bay leaf, and cloves.
Step 3 :
After the spices are slightly fried (they release aroma), add the tomato puree and onion paste.
Step 4 :
Add ginger paste and garlic paste.
Step 5 :
Add all other spices, i.e. chilli powder, garam masala, coriander seeds powder, cumin seeds powder, salt, and sugar.
Step 6 :
Cover with lid and let the mixture cook for 5-7 minutes on slow-medium flame.
Step 7 :
Add paneer cubes and mix properly with cooked curry. Cover the vessel with lid and keep it on slow-medium flame for 2-5 minutes.
Step 8 :
Take it off the flame and the Hot Paneer Curry is ready to serve.
Serving
Step 1 :
Arrange the rice in ring form, and place the curry in the center. The curry can be served either in a bowl or directly in the rice ring or rice and curry side-by-side as would be appropriate for airlines.
Step 2 :
Garnish the rice with pineapple pieces and desiccated coconut powder, and some chopped coriander leaves.
Step 3 :
