Have some leftover butter paneer masala, but not enough to serve a meal for all?  Get creative and upcycle it into a whole meal.  With minimal active time in the kitchen, yet a delicious outcome, this is a must-try when crunched for time or inventory!  So, be sure to make extra Butter Paneer Masala so it can be extended into this delicacy :). 

Ingredients:

• Leftover Butter Paneer Masala - 1.5 cups
• Rice - 2 cups
• Water - 3 cups
• Salt
• Red chili paste/powder - 0.5 tsp (as prefered)  
• Coriander leaves - 1 fistful

Method:

• Wash the rice in a cooker vessel
• Add the leftover Butter Paneer Masala and mix well
• Add the salt and red chili paste/powder  
• Add the water and mix well so that the chili paste/powder and the gravy are homogenous with the liquid
• Close the lid and cook ('Pressure' mode for 3 mins. in IP)
• After opening, let it cool for at least 15 mins.
• Sprinkle chopped coriander on top
• Serve hot, along with yogurt (if prefered) 

Tips and Tricks:

• Basmati rice works well for pulavs
• Water proportion is less here as the water content in the Butter Paneer has to be accounted for as well! 
• A little chili spice and salt will be needed as the addition of the rice will cut the spices and salt
