About the dish
What makes it different
Prawns are the opposite problem to mutton. Where mutton needs time, prawns need almost none, and a minute too long turns them rubbery. So this biryani is built around timing rather than patience.
The prawns go in late, so they are still firm when the handi opens. The spicing is lighter too, because heavy masala flattens seafood rather than lifting it. What you get is a biryani that tastes cleaner than the meat versions without being bland.
In a city that eats a lot of fish, it is surprising how few kitchens bother doing a prawn biryani properly. We think it is worth the trouble.
Good for: Anyone who finds mutton too heavy, and seafood eaters tired of the same two options.
- Added late
So they finish firm rather than overcooked in the bottom of the handi.
- Lighter masala
Tuned so the prawns come through instead of being buried.
- A change of pace
Noticeably less heavy than the chicken or mutton, without losing the dum character.
