Prawn Dum Biriyani

Mix the turmeric, chili powder, salt, ginger, garlic, onion, Garam masala and 1/2 cup yogurt and marinate the prawns in it, for 1/2 an hour

Cook rice with water until its 80% cooked

Drain the water and add 1 tsp cardamom powder,salt per taste to it

Mix well and set aside for layering

Now take a pan and heat 1 tbsp oil and add prawns and cook at medium flame for 5-7min

You will get a thick liquid gravy

Now it comes to layering

Take a handi or a biriyani pot

Grease the bottom with ghee

Take half rice and layer the bottom

Add second layer of half of the prawn on it

Sprinkle coarinder chopped and half of prawn gravy

Sprinkle half onion

Third layer is with the remaining rice and final layer is with remaining prawn gravy

Sprinkle fried onion, coriander and green chills on top

Sprinkle the milk

Now seal the pot with dough and put on dum on lowest heat of gas burner

You can always put a flat skillet or tawa first on gas flame and than put your biriyani pot on it for dum, so that there will be no-chance of burning inside

It will take 25-30 min till you get a nice aroma all around

To check whether cooking is done or not, sprinkle little water on the side wall of pot outside

If it's done than water will evaporate immediately

Serve hot
