HOW LONG SHOULD I SOAK RICE?

If you are planning to cook pulao in the pan, soak for 30 minutes. For instant pot and pressure cooker pulao, soak rice for about 5 minutes. Adjust the soaking time according to the variety of rice you use

CAN I COOK methi MATAR PANEER PULAO IN THE PRESSURE COOKER?

Yes, for the pressure cooker methi rice, soak the rice for 10 minutes. Add a 1:2 rice to water ratio. Bring to boil and cook for 2 whistles and do natural pressure release. 

CAN I COOK methi PANEER PULAO IN THE instant pot?

Yes, for the instant pot methi pulav soak the rice for 5 minutes. Add 1:1 1/2,  rice to water ratio. Bring to boil and cook for 5 minutes and do natural pressure release. 

SHOULD I CHOP FENUGREEK LEAVES FOR Indian methi pilaf?

no, it is optional. You can finely chop the leaves or add roughly chopped or whole methi leaves. 

CAN I COOK  methi paneer rice IN OIL?

Yes, using Ghee is optional but it gives a good flavor to the pulav. You can use oil for cooking and add a few drops of ghee for aroma.

CAN I SKIP SAUTEEING PANEER?

I would recommend doing this step. It gives a good flavor to the rice and makes the paneer soft

CAN I COOK methi peas PULAO IN WATER?

Cooking fenugreek leaves rice in thin coconut milk gives the best taste so I would recommend that.

ALTERNATE FOR SHAHI PANEER MASALA?

You can use add masala powders like red chilli powder, kitchen king masala, and garam masala instead of shahi paneer pulao. Adjust the masala according to your spice.

SPICE LEVEL?

I have made it less spicy for kids-friendly lunch. Adjust according to your taste
