Tips
DUM:
-
Prawn Biryani doesn’t need any Rice gruel for cooking on Dum like Chicken or Mutton, but the water which naturally Prawns have, is sufficient to make Dum.
-
Add 3 tbsp water if you are making the Biryani with Sona Masoori Rice but it is not required if you are using Basmati Rice.
BASMATI RICE:
-
Spread a layer of Rice cooked to 80 % on the marinating Prawns and leave it on Dum for the Biryani to get cooked in the water that Prawns naturally leave.
-
When you mash the Rice grain between your fingertips, you should feel that it will be cooked in another 5 mins. That is when you consider it as 80% cooked.
SONA MASOORI RICE/ OTHER VARIETY RICE
- Rice should be 80% done irrespective of any variety that you use, but add 3 tbsp of water to this variety of Rice.
