I have not added any taste maker instead i have used stock which i made from prawns shells & head which was thoroughly washed then boiled with few spices salt& water.This brings out the real flavor and makes the pulav very tasty.If you are worried it well smell awful believe me you wont even come to know as the freshness of the ground masala and the spices give this pulao wonderful aroma which lingers in your house as you cook.
If you're cooking for kids lessen the number of chillies & pepper used.You can make this with basmati or any fragrant rice ..Ambemohar & kolam works best for this..

Oh my Gloria, I don't think I have ever made shrimp in the pressure cooker. Very interesting! The combination of flavors all sitting tight in the cooker must make this meal oh so delicious! Thank you so much for sharing, Gloria...
sounds really delicious... the kids and the dad love prawns but since I cannot have them, I don't cook them... maybe I have to make this once for them...
