Paneer biryani calories and macros

One plate of paneer biryani (about 250 g) has roughly 390 calories, with about 13 g protein, 54 g carbohydrate, and 13 g fat. Paneer biryani is the vegetarian protein biryani: basmati rice layered with spiced paneer cubes instead of meat. It sits above veg biryani on calories because paneer brings its own fat, and it gives more protein than a plain veg plate. Most of the calories are still the rice and the ghee, as with every biryani, and the paneer adds both protein and richness. It is a popular choice for vegetarians who want more than a veg biryani but do not eat egg or meat. A home plate with modest ghee and less paneer is near 350, while a rich restaurant version with generous paneer and ghee crosses 470. For tracking, treat it like veg biryani plus the paneer: a bit more protein, a bit more fat. The usual levers apply, more paneer and less rice raises the protein per calorie.
