Paneer Biryani 印式芝士炒飯 Indian Paneer Biryani is a delightful vegetarian twist on the classic biryani, featuring soft paneer (Indian cottage cheese) as the star ingredient. The preparation begins with marinating paneer cubes in a blend of yogurt, turmeric, garam masala, and other fragrant spices. This ensures the paneer absorbs the rich flavors, making each bite a burst of taste.
The marinated paneer is then sautéed until golden brown, and set aside. In the same pan, onions, garlic, and ginger are sautéed until they turn golden and aromatic. Fresh vegetables like carrots, peas, and bell peppers are added, creating a colorful and nutritious base. Long-grain basmati rice is cooked with these vegetables and spices, infusing the grains with a rich, aromatic flavor.
