Paneer Biryani Recipe with step by step pictures. This is made with Paneer and Whole Spices which taste delicious.
Paneer Biryani
Now coming back to the recipe..This is a simple yet flavourful paneer biryani..I love paneer so much, but nowadays i am substituting paneer for tofu. I think they both have the same texture, but tofu is a lot more healthier..This biryani has so much flavour in it since we are adding a good amount of coriander leaves.Great for parties or for lunch box. I hope you will love it as much i do.

That sounds delicious but your chillies cannot be as hot as mine! If I used that many of mine it would blow my head off, and I like very hot!!!
It does not seem to have stopped raining here for the past month, I am getting a bit fed up with it!! Diane

I've never thought of using tofu in place of paneer. What a good idea to save some calories.

Arathi how do you have so much of energy? 🙂 The tomato ketchup was a new ingredient for me.
