     Rich and tasty one-pot paneer pulao are perfect for the lunchbox. It also makes a great entree for dinner parties.

    HOW LONG SHOULD I SOAK RICE?

     I generally soak rice for about 5 minutes. Adjust the soaking time according to the variety of rice you use

    CAN I COOK Matar paneer PULAO IN THE PRESSURE COOKER?

    Yes, for the pressure cooker version soak the rice for 10 minutes. Bring to boil and cook for 2 whistles and do natural pressure release. 

    CAN I COOK shahi PULAO 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.

    Can I cook pulao in water?

    Cooking shahi paneer peas pulao in milk gives the best taste so I would recommend that

    Alternate for shahi paneer masala?

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

    Will the same milk to rice ratio work for another Instant pot size?

    I used 5 quart IP if you are using a smaller size pan reduce the milk accordingly. The quantity of milk also depends on the rice variety
