Rice – for prawns biriyani basamathi rice is best. For 1 kg prawns we need around 3*250 ml glass of basmathi rice. Soak the rice in water after washing it for 20 mins. Now we need to cook this rice till ¾th done. Take another deep bottomed pan add 20 glasses of water. Add salt to the water. The water should be really salty. Add cinnamon ,cardamom , cloves, sha jeera(optional) and whole pepper. Let the water boil . add ghee and little oil. When the water is bubbling then add the rice. After 7-8 minutes check the texture of the rice. Add lemon juice so that the rice is not sticky. If the rice is ¾ th done. You can strain the water and keep the rice aside.

For Dum – take a tawa. On that keep a mixing bowl. First grease the pan with ghee. Add a layer of rice. Add onions fried(bista), fried cashews and raisins. Add some garam masala/ biriyani masala. Sprinkle turmeric milk. Sprinkle some oil/ ghee. Add the prawns masala. Repeat the rice layer and so on. You can sprinkle rice water(water which you get when you strain the boiled rice) in one of the layers. Add coriander leaves and mint leaves in between. Do not put the leaves on the top most layer of rice. Tab the rice down on the top layer. Now on lowest flame heat it for 25 mins. Garnish with coriander leaves and mint leaves.
