Delicious Prawn Pulao with Coconut Milk Recipe | Easy Prawn Pulao with Step by Step with Photos

Prawn Pulao Recipe is being made in many ways, and every way gives it a different taste every time.

Prawns' umami flavor and the sweet creaminess of coconut increase its flavor tenfold.

Hence, this way is the best and the easiest way to make everyone's favorite one-pot meal!

I love the combination of coconut and prawns. Both are coastal foods. In my favorite pulao recipe, both of these coastal delicacies work so well together that they simply enhance and complement one another.

INGREDIENTS:

Let's get to know what ingredients are needed.

The ingredients list is very simple. Nothing costly or exotic is needed; these things are already in your kitchen. You just need to take them out and start cooking !

So for our pulao, we require all whole spices, such as

• Bay leaf 1

• Cumin seeds, 1 tsp.

• Star anise 1

• Green cardamom 3

• Cloves 5

and some important veggies, like

• Onions, 5 medium size

• Tomatoes 3

• Potatoes 4

• Curry leaves 5-10

• Ginger-garlic paste 1.5 tsp

•  Green chili paste 3 tsp (combination of green chilies, garlic, coriander, and cumin)

• Freshly chopped coriander and Kasuri methi with half a lemon for garnishing purposes

Lastly ,

Our spice powders, such as

• Red chili powder 3 tsp

• Coriander powder 2 tsp

• Garam masala powder 1 tsp

• cumin powder 1 tsp

• turmeric powder 1 tsp

•  Black pepper powder 1 tsp

• Prawns 200g , curd 100g, and coconut milk 1 cup are all we need. That's it!

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

This is considered the extra step but is very important, which distinguishes it in terms of the taste and texture of the prawns. Hence, don't leave out this step, which is called "marination!

MARINATION PROCESS: 

This is the simplest process wherein you will marinate the prawns with three things, which are red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt, and leave it for 15 minutes minimum. 

 (This step enhances the flavor of the pulao tenfold!)

 

COOKING PROCESS:

 Here you require the above-mentioned ingredients. 

Wherein we will take a heavy-based pot wherein we will add all chopped onions with whole Garam masala (Akha Garam masala) with cumin seeds; let all this be Sauté well in the oil so that the color of the onions turns into a beautiful golden brown. 

At that point, add ginger-garlic paste and green masala paste, and let that fry well in the oil so that we can add our tomatoes. potatoes, curry leaves, and marinated prawns

Along with this , we need to add redchilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garammasala powder and turmeric powder 

Let all this mix well in the oil to form a flavorful, aromatic gravy. Add a half glass of water if the masala is sticking. You need to give proper bhoon so that the oil gets separated from the masalas. 

At this point you need to add curd, rice, and water along with coconut milk, black pepper powder, chopped coriander, and Kasuri methi. And half a lemon

What type of rice is best for prawn pulao?

 

Generally, basmati rice is considered to be the ideal choice for pulao and biryani, but I personally use jeera kolum rice and sella rice due to their long and very thin texture and size.
