Notes
This dish is involved more than the others but consolidates effort across two pans. While you are waiting for the rice you make the curry. By the time the curry is done so is the rice and you have dinner in 20 min.
As mentioned, you can do all this in one pan. After you turn out the rice just do the curry in the same pan, no washing needed.
You experts can finish the dish with some of that homemade paneer cheese you made.
