Hello and welcome to Masala Trails, season 2.
Today I'm making a one pot Prawn Masala Rice.
This is a dish that works very well in it's in entirety
and it's great if you're having a party and want to impress some friends.
So we're gonna start with all the Masala that is required,
for the masala I've got some Coriander, a handful of Coriander
I've got maybe 1/2 tsp of Aniseeds,
a handful of Mint Leaves,
I've got some crushed Ginger, maybe 1/2 an inch.
I've got about 5-6 pod of Garlic,
about 6 small Green Chillies,
4 medium sized Red Chillies,
a small piece of Cinnamon and 2 pieces of Cardamom.
I'm just gonna add some Water to this.
Just a little bit of Water not too much,
we can keep adding as and when we like.
Too much Water won't allow us to grind it well.
That's perfect, that's how we want it so..
..I'm just gonna empty it out onto another bowl.
So now that we've ground our Masala let get to step 2,
We're gonna marinate our Prawns.
For this I have,
some Prawns, this is about roughly 450 gms, you can use 500 as well.
I'm going to add some of our ground masala, just a tbsp.
I'm going to add 1 tbsp of Yoghurt.
Actually a tbsp and a half.
Now I'm going to add a tsp of Turmeric.
1/2 tsp of Red Chilli Powder.
Another tsp of Coriander Powder.
And just mix everything.
Once your Prawns are marinated,
keep it aside for anywhere between 30 mins-2 hours,
the longer the better, so I'm gonna go keep mine in the refrigerator.
So now that my marinate has been sitting
in the refrigerator for 2 hours, I think we're ready to go.
So let's get this started,
So I'm going to add 2 big tsp of Ghee or Indian Margarine into the pan.
Take a thick bottomed vessel for this because that is usually a lot more healthier.
I have small pieces of Cinnamon,
I have 3 pieces of Cardamom,
about 4 pieces of Cloves.
To this I'm also adding some Aniseeds,
These are about 2 medium sized Onions, which are thinly sliced.
Okay give it a good stir,
So now my Onions are almost done,
so I'm just gonna add some Tomatoes, these are 2 Tomatoes just thinly sliced.
Give it a good mix!
Now I'm just gonna cover the pan because I want my...
Tomatoes to get really soft.
So my Tomatoes are also done,
Now to this I'm going to add the,
mixture that we made earlier, that paste with all the leaves and everything
Just add that!
Give it a good mix!
Now to this, I'm also going to add the marinated Prawns.
Give this a good mix!
So now I'm going to add some Coconut milk.
I had taken 2 cups of this measurement of Rice.
So this is approximately maybe about 60 gms each.
I suggest,
whatever measurement you're using for the Rice,
use the same to measure out your Coconut Milk as well.
So since we have 2 cups of Rice,
so we're gonna use about 3 cups of Coconut Milk,
and 1 cup of Water.
So now it's not really boiling but it's beginning to boil.
So now I'm gonna add in my Rice.
I've about 2 measurement of Rice here,
this Rice is already been washed and soaked for 5 mins.
So you can do the same as well.
Just fold it in.
I'm going to keep it open for the first maybe 3 min and then cover it.
So now that my 2 mins are up I'm just gonna add some Salt to taste.
Give it a good mix once again!
So now I'm, just gonna cover my rice
and leave it on till the rice is cooked.
And it's done.
It smells wonderful guys, I cannot wait to dig in.
So I'm gonna go help myself
to sum up this food and if you liked this video
please tell us how your rice turned out.
And I'm just gonna go and eat this right away.
