Prawn pulao is a very delicious and easy to make recipe. It is a very good option for one pot meal. We make a variety of recipes with prawn, prawn pulao is one of them. When we want to eat some tasty food but we don’t have the time or desire to make it, then pulao can be a very good recipe.
Pulao is a spicy dish made with rice. The rice is lightly fried in oil or ghee to make it brown or golden. Then spices, vegetables etc. are added. Meat, fish, egg, prawn and dried fruits are also added to the pulao in the region. There are variations in making pulao from region to region. Depending on the ingredients, the taste also varies from region to region. Pulao can make it’s own place in the menu of any occasion of Indian family. Usually I make Basanti Pulao or Bengali Fried Rice at home , but this time I cooked Prawn Pulao to get a different taste. I have added a homemade pulao masala to make this dish. The flavour of this masala makes the taste of this dish more delightful. Ít tastes good itself, but if required can be had with raita,salad or some curry.

Making Prawn Pulao Add the soaked & drained rice and mix it well, if add little salt if required. Using the same cup that’s used for measuring rice, add water in 1 : 1.5 ratio, that is for every 1 cup of rice you need to add 1.5 cup of water. Bring the water to boil. When the rice starts to boil, turn the flame to simmer, cover and cook until the rice is perfectly done. Turn off the heat and leave the pan undisturbed for a further 10 minute, Here you have to remember one thing , the cup used for rice and water should be the same size.
Quantity of water depends on the quality of rice, here I used fine Basmati rice which is cooked so fast, so adjust water level according to your rice,
