Paneer Fennal Rice ~ pressure cooker
Paneer is the evergreen ingredient used in Indian cuisines! This is a new flavor I tried using Cottage Cheese and Fennel seeds and it turned out to be awesome! Yet again, this is a pressure cooker recipe. You can also make it on a vessel with a lid. But pressure cooker just makes my life simple!
