Method
For the paneer tikka
Combine the curd, gram flour, ginger-garlic paste, chilli powder, garam masala, coriander, salt and 1 tablespoon of oil in a bowl, mix well to prepare a marinade. Add the paneer, capsicum and onion to it, mix gently and keep aside for 10-15 minutes. Arrange the paneer, capsicum and onions on skewer sticks. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil on a non-stick griddle and cook the paneer tikkas for 4-5 minutes or until they are lightly browned. Remove from skewers and keep aside.
For the rice
Heat oil in a deep non-stick pan, add cumin seeds, cloves, bay leaves and cinnamon, sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds. When the cumin seeds crackle, add rice and salt, sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes. Add 4 cups of hot water. Cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes or till rice is cooked. Separate each grain of rice very lightly with a fork and keep aside.
Heat oil in another broad non-stick pan, add the paneer tikkas and rice, mix gently and cook on a medium flame for 1-2 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Serve immediately with fried onion and a sprig of mint.
