Add chopped onions and sauté till they turn translucent. Add peas, ginger and coriander leaves paste and stir fry for 1-2 mins.
Add the rice and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add water and milk and turn the flame to high. Once the water starts boiling, lower the flame. Add salt, black pepper powder, and slit green chilies.
Continue to cook on low heat until the rice is done. Add the sauteed mushrooms and the cashew paste and stir lightly.
Once rice is cooked, turn off the heat. Sprinkle cheese, cover, and rest 5 minutes so it melts.
Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot, paired with either grilled chicken, fish, or paneer and salad on the side.
