1/2 kg Prawns / Shrimp (deveined)
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp Coriander powder
1 tbsp Chili powder
3 green chillies(paste)

handfull Coriander leaves and Mint leaves
2 Tbsp Ghee / Clarified Butter
2-3 Biryani masala
For Flavoring Rice
1tsp Fennel Seeds
1 tsp Jeera
4 Cloves
10-15 Pepper corns
1 Star anise
1 Mace
4 Cardamom
2 inch Cinamon Sticks
12-15 Saffron strands soaked in warm milk
Salt to Taste
4 cups Water
Method
Step 1) To marinate combine turmeric powder, Biryani masala , garam masala Coriander powder, chilli powder, 3 green chillies(paste) , Ginger garlic paste, curd / Yogurt , fried onions , Coriander leaves, mint leaves Salt and Ghee /Clarified Butter together and mix it well the shrimp and set it aside for minimum 20 - 30 minutes.
Step 2) Flavoring the Rice:
Flavoring the rice is very important especially when we are making Hyderabadi style otherwise the rice will be plain.So to flavor the rice in a cheese cloth add the whole spices fennel seeds, jeera, Cloves, pepper corns, Star anise, mace, cardamom, cinamon sticks and tie the cheese cloth.You can also add the spices directly,but many of us dont like biting into spices when we taste our biryani so to avoid that i have used cheesecloth / any clean cloth.
Step3)Then add this cheese cloth to 2 tbsp of ghee and allow th ghee to extract all the flavors of the whole masalas after a minute add 2 Bay leaves and enough water, salt and bring it to a boil
Once the water comes to a boil add basmati rice which has been soaked for atleast 30 minutes and cook until the rice is 75% done (because we are going to cook the rice again)
Step 4) In a heavy bottom pan add 2 tbsp ghee as I have shown and Spread the marinated prawns / shrimp equally dont stalk too much(the one without contact to the surface will not be crispy)
And add all the cooked rice on to the top of the prawns/shrimp and smoothern it,spread a layer of coriander leaves and some fried onions ,sprinkle some Biryani masala on the top for extra flavor.
Step 5) To get nice color add some Saffron milk(soak 12-15 saffron strands to luke warm water and keep it for 10-15 minutes) and aslo add 2 tbsp of clarified butter / Ghee.or sprinkle some yellow food coloring on top.Place a tight lid to cover and cook for 15 minutes until the prawns are nicely cooked.Then Turn off the heat and then leave it for 10 more minutes without opening the lid.
Delicious prawn Biryani is ready ,Mix lightly and enjoy. Dont mix too much (the beautiful yellow and white combination may get spoiled)
Marination part is very important, only when you marinate the flavors from the masalas will infuse into the meat and the meat will be soft tender and juicy.
