Note :
1. This recipe is less spicy yet tasty. If you like spicy food, then you can adjust the quantity of spices.
2. I used normal rice. For 2 cups of rice, i added 4 cups of water. If you are using basmathi rice, then add 2 cups of water for 2 cups of rice.
3. Prawns itself leaves out water while cooking. So Adjust the quantity of water. For 2 cups of rice, i have added 4 cups of water ( 3 1/2 cup water + 1/2 cup water leaves out by prawns).
