  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil or ghee
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 cups water

For the Rice Layer:

  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron strands, soaked in 2 tablespoons warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or butter
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced and fried till golden brown (for garnishing)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Prawns

  1. Marinate the Prawns: In a bowl, mix the prawns with half of the ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and yogurt. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.


Step 2: Cook the Rice

  1. Boil the Rice: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt, a few drops of oil, and the soaked basmati rice. Cook the rice until it's 70% done. Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Biryani Gravy

  1. Heat Oil/Ghee: In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil or ghee. Add cumin seeds, cloves, green cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
  2. Sauté Onions: Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
  3. Add Ginger-Garlic Paste: Stir in the remaining ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
  4. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Add the chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
  5. Cook the Prawns: Add the marinated prawns to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the prawns are tender and cooked through. Stir in the fresh coriander and mint leaves. Set aside.

Step 4: Layer the Biryani

  1. Layer the Rice and Prawns: In the same pan, spread half of the cooked rice. Layer the prawns and then the remaining rice on top. Drizzle the saffron milk and ghee over the top.
  2. Simmer: Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together. You can place a heavy weight on top of the lid to ensure the steam doesn’t escape.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  1. Garnish: Once done, gently fluff the biryani with a fork. Garnish with fried onions and additional mint leaves.
  2. Serve Hot: Serve the Prawn Biryani hot with raita, salad, or a side of your choice.
