    one pot Paneer BIRYANI

    one pot pressure cooker biryani with paneer is so flavorful. Perfect for a weekday meal. It is also a tasty main course for get together, dinner parties, etc.

    Hung curd marination

    Masala marinated in thick curd makes pressure cooker biryani so flavorful. always use non-sour curd. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt. Mix curd well, if curd has whey; it might curdle.

    CAN I SKIP THE MARINATION?

    Yes, you can mix all the masala after adding curd in the pressure cooker but marinating in advance makes paneer flavorful. I would recommend this step. 

    ALWAYS SAUTE yogurt mixture IN LOW FLAME

    To avoid curdling always saute on low flame. After adding water, you can boil it on a medium flame.

    CAN I SKIP BIRYANI MASALA

    Biryani masala is a must, it gives a good flavor to the one-pot paneer biryani. You can prepare homemade biryani masala or store-brought biryani masala. Adjust the masala according to your taste but don't skip it. 

    RICE FOR  BRIYANI

    I have used basmati rice. You can use any variety of rice according to your choice. Adjust water accordingly.

    SHOULD I SOAK RICE?

    I soaked the rice for 15 minutes. adjust the soaking time according to the rice variety you use.

    CAN I USE just OIL FOR COOKING?

    yes, you can use oil. Ghee gives amazing flavor to the biryani so I use prefer using it.

    Should I add tomato?

    No, the curd is enough for the biryani. if you are using tomato, reduce curd

    SIDE DISH FOR BIRYANI

    Biryani goes well with raita varieties, gutti vankaya kura, kathirikai chops, plain kurma,  mirchi salan and raita

    VEGETABLES FOR briyani

    you can use vegetables like corn, capsicum, mushroom, carrot, etc for paneer brinji.

    CAN I COOK cooker veg biryani IN THE INSTANT POT?

    Yes, for the instant pot version avoid soaking the rice. Add 1 +1/4 cup of hot water (including yogurt), cook for 5 minutes, and do natural pressure release.
