Instructions

  • To begin making the Paneer Biryani Recipe, prepare all the ingredients and keep them ready for cooking. Wash and rinse the rice in water and keep it aside. Heat ghee in the pressure cooker over medium heat; add the onion, ginger, and garlic and saute until the onions have softened and turned slightly brown. Stir in the spices - cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves and saute for a couple of minutes.
  • Stir in chopped tomatoes along with turmeric powder, chili powder, and coriander powder. Saute until the tomatoes become mushy and soft. To put the paneer biryani together, add the paneer, rice, coconut milk, and salt. Stir well to combine. Add 1-½ cups of water over the pressure cooker. Pressure cook for 2 whistles. After 2 whistles, turn the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes and turn off the heat.
  • Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once the pressure is released, open the cooker, wait for a few minutes and then add the chopped pudina leaves and stir to combine the Paneer Biryani.
