    HOW LONG SHOULD I SOAK RICE?

    If you plan to cook pulao in the pan, soak it for 30 minutes. For pressure cooker pulao, soak rice for about 20 minutes. Adjust the soaking time according to the variety of rice you use. For the IP version, skip soaking

    Vegetables for Paneer Pulao

    I used capsicum, but you can add vegetables like carrots, corn, potatoes, mushrooms, beans, etc, for pulav.

    Can I skip curd?

    Curd gives a nice flavor, also adds a little extra protein, and helps for paneer to be moist, so I highly recommend.

    CAN I COOK paneer burji and PULAO IN OIL?

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

    Can I skip shahi paneer masala

    I like shahi paneer masala flavor in the paneer bhurji pulao, but you can add biryani masala or masala of your choice.

    variation for pulav

    You can use

    • Biryani masala
    • Veggies of your choice
    • Oil 
    • Croutons for extra crunch

    rice for pulao

    I used basmati rice but you can use any rice of your choice
