Prawn Biryani / rice with stir fried prawns
If there is a quick biryani then there is the 'prawn biryani', and if there is a quicker way to make prawn biryani , I hope I have hit on the quickest, simplest and yet delicious "prawn biryani". This quantity of Prawn biryani is more than sufficient for two adults.
Lets get going quickly by marinating 300 grams of prawns or approximately one cup heaped with one heapful tablespoon of ginger garlic paste, two tablespoons of lemon juice, half a teaspoon of chat masala, one level teaspoon Kashmiri red chilly powder, half teaspoon garam masala and half a teaspoon of salt .Just mix all the wet and dry ingredients with a spoon and gently marinate the prawns .Keep it aside for atleast half an hour.

Soak one cup rice .
Blend two medium tomatoes,one cup coriander leaves ( 25 grams approx) one green chilli and one teaspoonful ginger garlic paste.
Take about 5 tablespoon sunflower / groundnut oil in a heavy bottomed pan and when the oil gets warm, add the spices like cumin seeds , a few cloves, two inch piece cinnamon stick and two badi elaichi.Stir for about half a minute and follow it up by two medium sliced onions. Stir fry the onions till they turn golden brown.
Pour in the paste and on medium flame keep stirring till the mixture leaves oil , about 7- 10 minutes.
Drain the rice and add to the mixture and stir fry for about five minutes, follow up with two cups of water and salt to taste and let the rice cook completely.
Take two - three tablespoons of sunflower/ ground nut oil in a separate pan and stir fry two medium capsicums chopped into one inch cubes till they are still a little crunchy.
Remove from the pan and add the prawns to the same pan , stir fry and cook in the same way like I have mentioned in the prawn tikka masala except that here we are not to dry them completetly. The prawns should be cooked but the masala should not be completely dried , you could keep sprinkling a little water in between your stirring to ensure that.
Now your rice is cooked in one pot and the prawns in the other.
Just mix the rice, prawns and the capsicum and gently toss them and serve with raita.
