If we bake in oven what should be temp and time To cook in OTG
Have made this several times now.....and always loved it.....dont forget to sprinkle milk before putting it in oven
This rice has all the flavors, with paneer and peas filling in the center. The potato salli for the garnish, gives a nice crunchy taste, every time you take a bite..
I made this yesterday for dinner and my family really loved it...My family does not like paneer too much so i replaced it with corn, it taste equally good..
