Method
Wash the basmati rice, soak it for 20 minutes and drain. Cook it with 400 ml water and 1/2 tsp of the salt in a covered pot on the lowest flame for 12 minutes, then rest for 5 minutes. Spread it on a plate to cool a little.
Cut the paneer into 8 slabs about 1.5 cm thick. Mix the curd, half the garlic, chilli flakes, 1 tsp black pepper powder, 1 tsp salt, lemon juice and 1 tbsp oil. Coat the paneer slabs and keep them for 10 minutes.
Heat the rest of the oil in a wide pan on high flame. Add the rest of the garlic and the onion and stir for 1 minute. Add the carrot and beans and stir fry for 3 minutes, then the capsicum for 1 minute more. Keep the vegetables crunchy.
Add the cooked rice, mixed herbs and the rest of the salt and pepper. Toss for 2 minutes until hot. Mix in the coriander leaves and keep warm.
Melt the butter in a non-stick pan on medium flame. Place the paneer slabs in it and sear for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve the veg rice with 2 paneer steaks on each plate.
