Critical Success Points

  • Ensure the spices coat the paneer well during marination
  • Par-cook the rice to about 80% doneness
  • Seal the pot lid with flour dough and steam-bake (dum) the dish

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of burns when frying in hot oil.
  • During steaming, the steam is extremely hot when opening the pot lid; protect with a thick cloth or mitt.
  • Cool the gravy completely before adding yogurt to prevent it from separating.
