Marinate the prawns in ½ teaspoon salt, lime juice and turmeric powder for 15 minutes
Heat the cooking pot with the ghee. When it melts, add the whole spices, once they turn fragrant, add in the onions, sautee´until they become soft and light brown. Next add the ginger garlic pastes and chilis, cook for couple minutes and then add the tomato
Once the tomatoes soften, add the vegetables and spice powders. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes and then throw in the prawns, mix well and cook for 2 minutes*
Next, add the soaked rice and coriander leaves. Mix well but gently, so as to not break the rice grains
Now add the coconut milk, water and salt to taste, give it another mix. Be mindful that the prawns also have salt due to the marination. Cook this on high flame until the water and coconut milk from the surface dries up
Then cover with the cooking pot with a lid an cook on the lowest flame for another 8 minutes. Once done, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving
Garnish your delicious Goan prawns pulao with fresh coconut and coriander leaves and serve. Enjoy!
