Step-by-step instructions to cook

Prep

1

Marinate the prawns with ginger garlic paste, turmeric, biryani masala, red chili powder, and salt. Set aside for 30 minutes.

2

Wash and soak rice for 30 minutes.

3

Bring water to a rolling boil in a pot along with bay leaf, cardamoms, shahi jeera, oil, and salt.

4

Drain the soaked rice and add it to the boiling water.

5

Cook the rice until it's al dente, not mushy. It should be firm.

6

Drain the cooked rice in a colander.

Cooking

1

Heat a pan with oil. Add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf, shahi jeera, and star anise to the hot oil.

2

Fry onions until they turn light golden brown, stirring frequently.

3

Next, fry ginger garlic paste until the raw smell disappears.

4

Saute tomatoes, mint, and coriander leaves in the same pan.

5

When the tomatoes turn mushy, add chili powder, biryani masala, salt, and turmeric.

6

Cook until the oil begins to ooze out. Then add the prawns and fry for just a minute to remove the raw flavor of ginger garlic paste.

7

Pour curd or coconut milk and stir. Cook until the gravy thickens, and the prawns are fully cooked. Be careful not to overcook; prawns should curl up to a C shape when cooked. Tiger prawns take about 3 minutes to cook. Adjust salt to taste.

8

Grease a pot for making biryani. Add half of the rice to the pot and level it evenly.

9

Add the prawn gravy and level it.

10

Add the remaining rice on top of the prawn gravy.

11

Seal the pot with foil or a tight lid and cook on a hot tawa or tawa ( flat pan) for 20 minutes.

12

Allow the prawn biryani to rest for 15 minutes.
