Process :
* Burnt Garlic Fried Rice : Heat up some oil in a frypan
* Meanwhile, coat your finely chopped garlic in some cornflour - dust off the excess flour
* Fry the cornflour coated garlic on low - medium heat until they turn crispy & golden brown
* Strain the fried garlic through a fine sieve & allow all the excess oil to drain off - lay them out on a piece of kitchen towel & allow them to cool down completely
* Meanwhile, heat up some of the leftover garlic oil in a saucepan
* Add in the chopped garlic, green onion bulbs & sauté for a minute, followed by french beans, carrots, celery & boiled corn - sauté them on high for 1-2 mins
* Next, add in the day old cold boiled rice - this will ensure that the rice grains remain separate & not clump together along with the soy sauce, vinegar & salt & pepper to taste
* Give everything a quick toss
* Finish the fried rice with some butter, spring onion greens & fried garlic - toss well & keep aside for later
* Chilli Basil Paneer : cut cubes of paneer & soak them in hot salted water for 7-10 mins
* To marinate the paneer, add the soaked & strained paneer to a bowl along with some ginger garlic paste & salt & pepper to taste - allow the paneer to marinate for at-least 20 mins
* Next, toss the marinated paneer in some cornflour without adding any additional water
* Fry the coated paneer in the reserved garlic oil until golden brown & crisp from all sides - strain & place them on a clean kitchen napkin
* Remove excess oil from the pan & add in the finely chopped ginger, garlic, green onion bulbs & slit green chillies - sauté on high for a minute
* Next add in the diced onion & bell peppers - sauté for another minute
* Reduce the heat to medium & add in all the sauces & seasonings - soy sauce, vinegar, sriracha, schezwan sauce, stock cube, a pinch of sugar & salt & pepper to taste - give everything a good mix
* Finally add in the cornstarch slurry along with some water - once the sauce starts to thicken, add in your fried paneer along with freshly torn basil leaves
* Finish the gravy with some spring onion greens & sesame seeds
* Serve hot alongside the burnt garlic fried rice & Enjoy
