Prawn Pulao / Rice

Yesterday was extremely exhausting day for me and I wasn't in a mood to cook. Regardless of how you're feeling right now about cooking this cannot hold us apart from cooking. Food cravings is usually a powerful necessity. So I decided to cook Prawn Pulao for dinner.

It isn't just delightful but carries an aromatic fragrance of spices. Prawns provide an incredible taste to the rice at the same time.

Even kids love this mouth watering dish. It’s great to cook on weekend, day off or if you aren’t in a frame of mind to cook any challenging or the typical meal.
