Methi Paneer Biryani

This is a very simple and quick recipe especially for the days when you don’t feel like cooking 😛.

• Add ghee or oil in a kadai

• Fry the paneer pieces and keep them aside

• Add whole spices (I used 1 bay leaves, 2 cinnamon) and jeera (cumin seeds).

• Add chopped garlic then chopped onion fry it little bit.

• Now add the chopped methi leaves fry it till wilted .

• Further, add tomato purée (alternately can use curd also).

• Now add the masalas: turmeric, kashmiri red chilli, coriander powder and biriyani masala little bit.

• Add the paneer

• Then add rice 🍚 with salt and sugar (this is also optional as many may not like sugar but I prefer to put to balance the taste and most importantly as am a bong 😜).

• Drizzle a spoon 🥄 full of ghee from the top and allow it to settle.

• Biriyani is ready within mins!

This is my version of the recipe. I named it biriyani because my kids will eat literally anything by that name hence, I also used biryani masala for the taste and smell of biryani as they can't just be fooled by the name! Therefore, it is absolutely optional whether or not you add biryani masala. This is a one-pot meal that you can pair with onion & cucumber raita (not pictured).
