    Today's Lunchbox is Paneer fried rice. Whenever I feel bored with normal lunch box items and if I have Paneer in stock, one of the dishes which I prefer to cook is Paneer Fried Rice. It's very simple but healthy and tasty.

    I make this for both Dhwani's and our lunchbox for the office. For people who do not know, Paneer is an Indian Cottage Cheese prepared by adding food acid, such as lemon juice, vinegar to hot milk to separate the curds from the whey and then draining the curds in muslin or cheesecloth to remove excess water.

    If your kids dont like paneer and you can use crumbled paneer for this recipe.
