Ingredients:

Prawns 2 kg (medium size, washed in salt and garlic water)
Long grain rice 1 kg (soaked in water for 20 minutes)
Ginger and garlic paste 1 tbsp
Shallots (spring onion leaves) 1 cup chopped
Cinnamon 1 inch (roasted and powdered)
Onions 2 medium size, thinly sliced
Lemons 4
Cooking oil 1 ½ cups
Salt to taste
Ajinomoto 1 tsp

Method:

Heat oil in a heavy based pan. Fry the onions until golden brown. Add prawns and ginger and garlic paste to it. When water begins to evaporate, add powdered cinnamon and shallots to it and stir on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
Then add rice and Ajinomoto to the prawns. Again stir for 2 minutes. Pour in 5 cups of water and salt. Mix well, but carefully so that rice does not break. Tightly cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes, until all the moisture has been absorbed.
Lower the heat and cook for another 10 minutes. Removes from heat once the dish is cooked; leave it covered for a few minutes. Then remove the lid, fluff up the rice with a fork and serve hot.
