Angoori Pulav

This is one recipe I wanted to try since a long time from Sanjeev Kapoor's site. I thought this has something to do with grapes when I saw the title, but nope. Just normal pulav with the addition of paneer in a different way. Im not a strict book to cook person, so made a few tweaks.

Grated Paneer - 1 cup
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp

Yoghurt - 1 cup
Turmeric Powder - 1 tsp
Red Chili Powder - 1 tsp
Dhaniya Powder - 1 tsp
Corn Flour - 2 tsp

Grate paneer, mix it with some salt, red chili powder, dhaniya powder and make into small balls; coat it with corn flour or rice flour and deep fry till golden brown. Set it aside.

Bon Appetit!!
