Ingredients
- 300 g basmati rice rinsed and drained
- 400 g Prawns peeled and deveined
- 2 onions finely sliced
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 2 green chillies slit lengthwise
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 inch ginger grated
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
- 1/4 cup Coriander chopped
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 600 ml water
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
- Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chillies. Sauté for a minute.
- Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and pulpy.
- Mix in coriander powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala powder. Cook for another minute.
- Add cleaned prawns to the pan and cook until they turn pink and opaque.
- Stir in rinsed and drained rice. Mix well to coat the rice with the masala.
- Pour in water, add salt to taste, and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once done, fluff up the pulao gently with a fork. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with raita or your favourite side dish.
Notes
- Ensure the prawns are thoroughly cleaned and deveined before cooking.
- Adjust the spiciness according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the number of green chillies.
- For added flavour, you can also add a pinch of saffron soaked in warm milk while cooking the pulao.
- I typically use a 1:2 ratio of rice to water
