Prawn Biryani is a majestic and aromatic rice dish that brings the flavors of the ocean to the royal Mughal kitchen. This layered masterpiece features long-grain Basmati rice cooked with marinated prawns, caramelized onions, and a bouquet of fresh herbs like mint and coriander. The prawns are sautéed in a spicy masala base before being 'dum' cooked with the rice to infuse every grain with flavor. Its taste is complex and fragrant, offering a festive and indulgent dining experience. It is the ultimate choice for special Sunday lunches or dinner parties, best served with chilled cucumber raita.

Tips & Secrets
- Soaking Basmati rice for 30 minutes is the secret to long, separate grains.

- Always use high-quality ghee for that signature rich and festive aroma.
- Using a heavy-bottomed pot prevents the bottom layer from burning during slow cooking.
