GOLDEN RICE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed rice and the Turmeric in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on the lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
BAKED PANEER
Place the paneer chunks on a greased baking tray and coat in oil and seasoning. Pop in the hot oven and bake for 5 minutes until lightly golden and crisping up. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
FRY-DAY
When the rice has 10-15 minutes remaining, place a wok or pan over a medium heat with a generous drizzle of oil. When hot, add the green pepper pieces, the diced Onion, and the sliced green beans and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft but still crunchy, shifting occasionally. Add the curry spice (to taste) and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the cooked rice and the peas and cook for 1-2 minutes until the peas are heated through, shifting occasionally. Season to taste.
