Paneer Tikka Biryani

طريقة التحضير

1. 1

   Marinate the paneer

   Whisk the yoghurt with chilli powder, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste and salt. Coat the paneer cubes and marinate 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Grill the paneer

   Thread the paneer onto skewers (or use a hot pan) and grill or pan-sear until lightly charred on the edges, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Par-cook the rice

   Soak, then boil the rice with whole spices for 6–7 minutes until 70% cooked. Drain.

4. 4

   Layer

   In a heavy pot, layer the grilled paneer tikka with the par-cooked rice, alternating and finishing with rice. Top with fried onions, herbs and saffron milk.

5. 5

   Dum-cook

   Seal and cook on the lowest heat for 18–20 minutes — paneer needs less time than raw vegetables since it’s already cooked.

6. 6

   Rest and serve

   Rest covered for 10 minutes, then fold gently and serve hot.
