Green Peas,Paneer & Mint Biriyani/ Pudina,Paneer & Peas Biryani

Biriyani, this one pot meal is our family favourite and i never forget to dish out this flavourful dish once a week especially for Sunday lunch. Though my kids are ardent fan of non vegetarian biriyanis for their lunch, they wont says 'no' if i serves vegetables loaded biriyani. Obviously our love for biriyani pulls me to dish out varieties of biriyanis and i have few more to post in my blog. However its not too late to post one of my most favourite biriyani aka Green peas biriyani with paneer cubes. Am posting this fantastic and aroma filled peas biriyani for my today's post as am running Mega marathon for whole month. And i will be showcasing 5 ingredients for 5 weeks. For this first week of this mega marathon, am posting dishes which i dished out with dry green peas.

After a baked dry green peas kebab, i couldnt resist to post this aromatic mint flavoured green peas and paneer biriyani for my today's post. This dish calls for usual spices we go for biriyani apart from spiced mint paste which is a must for flavouring this rice dish. Usually Biriyani calls for chopped mint leaves for flavoring, just imagine if rice is cooked with a mint-spice paste how flavourful this biriyani will be. Very easy to make, this biriyani makes an excellent meal if served with boiled eggs or else with fried chickens. However vegetarian will definitely enjoy this fabulous biriyani with onion raita. If you love green peas or paneer and biriyani, then this one pot meal is definitely a treat for you.

Even we love biryani and it is mostly job veg biryani. Peas and paneer biryani looks flavorful and mouthwatering. And I am also drooling over those chicken drumsticks in the background.
