Paneer Biryani is a royal and delectable vegetarian casserole where paneer cubes soak up the rich flavors of aromatic spices, yogurt, and fresh herbs. The dish is made by marinating paneer with ginger, garlic, biryani masala, chili powder, coriander, mint, and yogurt. The marinated paneer is cooked lightly, then layered with partially cooked fragrant basmati rice infused with saffron and whole spices like cardamom, cloves, and bay leaf. The entire biryani is slow-cooked in a sealed pot (dum cooking) to lock in the fragrance and juices, resulting in perfectly cooked rice and flavorful paneer.
