Being a professional biryani chef, I can vouch this recipe as very authentic traditional hyderabadi prawns biryani. Thanks a lot for sharing your recipe and keep up the good work !
I arrived at your website looking for pictures of some delicious looking biryanis .. and your page caught my attention. Wow! Your biryani looks so professional - both in looks and recipe wise!
Thanks for sharing your kitchen experiments !
There is one big mistake in this recipe. Never put half cooked rice into the shrim gravy or any biryani which you are making. When you put half cook rice for dum then your biryani will never come up good as the rice needs moisture to cook properly. So put 80% cooked rice for dum not half cooked. If you put half cooked rice then your rice in biryani will be raw and would not taste good.
