Prawns Pulao Recipe with step by step instructions.తెలుగు వెర్షన్.

when you get bored of regular pulao, chicken and mutton curries you can try this spicy and flavorful Prawns Pulao Recipe.This can be prepared very easily.you can surprise your guests with this amazing recipe.

I suggest you to use big prawns rather than using small prawns.Usually, the prawns will shrink down after cooking.so the small prawns become even small.if possible try to use big and fresh prawns.but if you are using frozen prawns, defrost them properly before using.otherwise they turn rubbery after cooking.fresh prawns hold a lot of moisture.so they will be soft even after cooking.

Prawns are a little sweet in taste.if we add dry red chili powder to balance the sweetness it may turn out spicy.So I have added 2 tbsp of green chili paste to the marinade instead of red chili powder.you can skip that if you don’t like.I usually add coconut milk to the pulao.I didn’t have coconut milk on that day.Otherwise, I would have replaced  1 cup of water with 1 cup of coconut milk.This version of the recipe also tastes really amazing.you can try if you like coconut milk.

I have added fennel and cardamom powder to the pulao.among all the masala spices, these two spices are so flavorful and very less pungent.So I always prefer using these two spices while making pulao recipes.Prawns pulao can be served with Dalcha, raitha, chicken curry, katta.I hope you try and enjoy this beautiful recipe.
