Today I am sharing the prawn's biryani recipe in thalassery style.
Thalassery is a town of northern Kerala, and their biriyani is quite popular for its peculiar aroma and taste.
Traditionally thalassery biryani makes with shorter grain rice called Jeerakasala rice / Kaima rice, this makes its unique aroma and taste. If it is not available we can use any long grain rice or basmati rice.
I have made this biryani with fresh prawns. Frozen prawns can be used for this, if you are using frozen, soak them in vinegar for 10 minutes and wash.
