I have been eating this delicious Goan Prawns Pulao since my childhood. I am grateful to my mom and existence for providing me with such lovely food. I love sea food and any food which is tasty + made with love. I just crave and binge on such food. Prawns are easily available throughout the world. If prawns are not available you could even use shrimps. I haven’t added potatoes in this pulao. If you wish you can add them. Also half cup of coconut milk will give a great flavor to your prawns pulao. But I would like to stick to this basic recipe of Goan Prawns Pulao as it tastes amazing.

Goan Food is quite popular for its coastal food also for different kind of masalas used. Some famous Goan masalas are reshad masala, Xacuti masala, Bafad Masala and not to forget vindaloo masalas. Even Goan sweets are awesome however not that popular as the coastal food is. Some goan specialties in sweets are dodol, bibinca, doss, pinagri. I am a great fan of dodol its made with coconut and jaggery which just melts in your mouth.

Anyways coming back to our Goan Prawns Pulao. Simple, light, rejuvenating and healthy is our Goan Prawns Pulao.

Wash the rice and keep it aside. Take a heavy bottomed pan. Keep the gas on low flame. Add oil and saute cloves, peppercorn, Bay leaves, cinnamon and green cardamom.

Now also add Cashews and saute.

After a minute. Add chopped onion and green chilies. Saute until onions become nice dark brown in color. Roughly about 5 to 7 mins on low flame.

Once the onion color changes add prawns. Mix gently with a spatula or spoon.

Add Ginger Garlic paste to it.

Also put tomatoes and stir well. Put the Maggi cube chicken masala into it. Now add coriander leaves and few mint leaves to it.

Finally add rice. Stir all of them.

Lastly add boiling water to the rice as required for pulao. Take the measurements of water as you would like your pulav. As some like dried pulav and some like mushy. Hence you take your own measurements for water. Don’t forget to add salt.

After 20 mins or Once the rice is cooked. Your Goan Prawns Pulao is ready. Serve hot with salad or Fish fry. You could also eat this is a brunch or lunch. Garnish with few mint and coriander leaves.
