Since a long i want make out pulao using paneer, atlast i prepared pulao with coriander leaves and paneer which was in my to-do list..This greeny pulao with paneer cubes is prepared by grinding fresh coriander leaves, cloves, cinnamon sticks, shah jeera, peppercorns,green chillies, cumin seeds and grated coconut..This paneer pulao can suit very well even for lunch box menu and hardly need less than half an hour if u have ur rice already cooked..coriander leaves are well know for many valuable benefits, they control the bad cholestrol and very rich in iron..its well recommended to take a juice with mint leaves, coriander leaves and curry leaves in place of coffee if u need for iron and this juice is without any calorie, u check this
herbal juice here, its quite a better way to insert fresh coriander leaves in our daily menu...coming to this pulao, this yummy pulao goes to
