Prawn Biryani (Shrimp Biryani)

  Prawn Biryani Biryanis are versatile and can be prepared with any kind of meat, fish, prawns or eggs. Vegetarians make veg biryani too with vegetables; however, meat lovers do not consider the vegetarian version as authentic biryani. Well, that’s quite a controversial topic and I’m not going to get into it now. 😊 Weekends in our home are usually reserved for biryanis, since they are an elaborate affair. But this variation with prawns is not very complicated and an easy fix for a quick one pot meal. A few days back I had posted the classic Chicken Dum Biryani recipe. This is just another variation with prawns. I have made using jeera rice and in an earthen pot for the earthy flavors that it gives. It can be made with basmati or aromatic rice too.   Preparation time: 30 mins Cooking time: 50 mins Servings: 2-3 persons   Ingredients: 400 gms prawns (peeled and deveined) 1 ½ cups rice 2 large onions thinly sliced 3 slit green chilies ½ cup curd 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
