Prawn Pulao is a fragrant and elegant one-pot rice dish that showcases the delicate flavors of fresh prawns and long-grain Basmati rice. This Goan and Konkani favorite involves sautéing prawns with whole aromatic spices, caramelized onions, and a hint of mint and coriander. The rice is then cooked in a savory broth, allowing each grain to absorb the essence of the seafood. Its taste is mildly spiced, aromatic, and buttery, with succulent prawns hidden in every mouthful. This pulao is a perfect centerpiece for a sophisticated dinner or a special Sunday lunch, best served with a cool cucumber raita.
