1. Heat a heavy bottomed vessel. I prefer pressure cooker. Its very important for pulav.

 3. Add Ginger Garlic paste and fry it well.


4. Now add washed rice and half of the ground paste.

 5. Mix it well.

THE MORE YOU FRY THE RICE, THE BETTER THE TASTE.




7. Check for the rice. 
 8. Here you can see that the rice is fried well. It turned brown.

 9. Now you can add onions if u want. Otherwise its optional.


10. Now add the half cooked prawns, chopped coriander n mix it carefully , so that the prawns dont loose their shape.

 11. Fry till the prawns turn brown.


12. Now add the remaining paste, 4 cups of water and cook till the rice is done.

14. Once its done, mix it slowly and carefully and serve hot.


 15. Njoy it with raita..... or it can b taken as it is...... Njoy Lapp Lappa....
