NOTES

1. I have actually made a paste of onion + ginger garlic paste + mint and coriander leaves + tomato.
2. You can marinate the prawns and then add.
3. You can also add cooked or fried prawns.
4. I like to add prawns without marination to get the actual flavour of the prawns, even the rice gets a nice flavour when it is cooked together.
5. You can cook the rice and prawns with masala separately,  then cook both on dum together like dum biryani.
6. You can also cook in a cooker
7. You can add few tbsp of curd.
8. Older the biryani , better the taste.
