How long does Paneer Fried Rice keep in the fridge?

Paneer Fried Rice keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Paneer Fried Rice ahead of time?

Paneer Fried Rice is best served fresh; it comes together in about 20 minutes, so prep your ingredients ahead and cook just before serving. Pre-chopping the aromatics and measuring spices can cut active time in half.

What can I serve with Paneer Fried Rice?

Classic pairings include standalone. For a complete indo-chinese thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
