Succulent paneer is always a great addition to any Indian dish, be it a subzi or a biryani but being a flavour-absorber it calls for some thoughtful cooking. Here is how you can turn rice and paneer into an irresistibly flavourful biryani! Quickly sauté it with a tangy paste of mint, coriander, lemon juice and other pungent ingredients... and watch how the flavour seeps through the rice and paneer transforming them into a delightful Minty Paneer Biryani that will promptly be promoted to the ‘favourite’ category by your family!

Very tasty! The mint flavor is delicious and savory. I live in NYC and I didn''t have time to go to the Indian grocery to get paneer, so I used ricotta instead-and it still turned out great! I''m looking forward to making this again.
