        Instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Preparing the Rice:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Wash the basmati rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the bay leaves, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Add the soaked rice and cook until it’s 70-80% done (about 7-8 minutes). The rice should still have a bite to it. Drain the rice and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Preparing the Paneer:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. In a bowl, mix the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt with the paneer cubes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a pan and fry the paneer cubes until they are golden brown. Remove and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Preparing the Biryani:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. In a large, deep pan, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee. Add the sliced onions and fry until they turn golden brown. Remove half of the fried onions and set aside for garnish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. To the remaining onions in the pan, add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Saut\u00e9 for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Add the chopped tomato and cook until it turns soft and mushy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Lower the heat and add the yogurt, stirring continuously to prevent it from curdling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            5. Add the biryani masala, garam masala, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the masala.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            6. Add the fried paneer cubes and mix well to coat them with the masala.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            7. Layer half of the partially cooked rice over the paneer mixture. Sprinkle half of the saffron milk, coriander leaves, mint leaves, and fried onions over the rice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            8. Add the remaining rice on top and sprinkle the rest of the saffron milk, coriander leaves, mint leaves, and fried onions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Final Cooking:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. You can seal the edges with dough to keep the steam in, or use aluminum foil under the lid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Place the pan on a tawa (flat griddle) and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F) for 20-25 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Once done, let it rest for 10 minutes before opening the lid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Serving:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Gently fluff the biryani with a fork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Garnish with roasted cashews and serve hot with raita, salad, or pickle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
