Notes

Tips: 1) For extra rich taste and vegan options, replace milk with coconut milk. 2) Instead of paneer, you can use soaked soya chunks. 3) Use biryani spices and mint leaves while sautéing onions, if you prefer more flavor full veg pulav. 4) Don't use more of garam masala or pulav masala powder as these may turn the color of the pulao into darker and tastes slightly bitter.
