Prawn Pulao

Prawn pulao

This is one of the easiest and quickest one pot meal with very few basic ingredients. 

This aromatic, super delicious one pot meal could be the ideal choice for a weekend dinner menu. 

I have used medium size prawns. You can use any size as per your choice. 

I prefer this mild flavoured pulao with minimum ingredients. You can add few more masala powders or spices as per your choice. 

You can add few veggies of your choice too. 

This dish can be prepared quickly if the ingredients are kept ready in advance.
