Prawns Pulav

By 1 Comment

My daughter loves Prawns Pulav. When she is in the mood to have it and I am short on time, I usually make this version of Prawns Pulav. It is quick to make and tasty too.

There is another more elaborate version of Prawns Pulav which I also make and love. I would be posting it soon. But until then, here is the simpler and quicker version for you :)
