Today I wanted to make something special for the kids and decided to go with Paneer Biriyani. Normally Biriyani preparation takes a lot of patience and effort… . And I was not in mood to spend hours in the kitchen also. so i followed an easy method of Biriyani . I got the idea from one of the cooking programs in our local channel.
My daughter recently developed a liking towards paneer… that’s how I started cooking more with paneer.
Paneer ( Cottage cheese) Biriyani was the perfect choice for a one pot dish. Combination of raitha and pickle… makes this a delicious meal.
And today I am happy that both my kids loved it… Nothing gives me more happiness then to see them relishing the food I make. :)
