Method:
In a pressure cooker, add dalda and oil. When hot add whole spices like cloves, cardamom, Cinnamon, bay leaves and fry. Add finely sliced onions and fry till golden brown. Add ginger- garlic paste, lengthwise slit green chillies, chilly powder and continue to fry. Now add chopped tomatoes, green peas, and prawns. Stir fry for a minute. Add rice, prawn stock and salt( it should be salty as the rice is also cooked in the same medium). Pressure cook for about 1 whistle. Serve hot.

To do prawn stock- bring to boil all the heads of prawns along with pinch of salt. strain it and use it like stock.Instead a prawn stock cube can also be used.
