How to make Prabhas’ Royyala Pulav

As per the instructions shared by the Baahubali star, first the prawns have to be cooked in oil with turmeric and masala mix for five minutes. The released water should then be drained. In a separate hot pan, add dried red chillies, cumin seeds, curry leaves along with the prawns. Next, onion paste, tomatoes, green chillies, salt and chilli powder should be added. Then add water and cook until it evaporates and then set the curry aside.

In another vessel, fry onions, cashews and rice in oil. Mix in salt, turmeric, chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste and masala mix. Add the prepared prawn curry and fry for two minutes. Pour in hot water, using two glasses for every glass of rice, then add more masala mix and curry leaves.

Cover and cook on a low flame for around 30 minutes, mixing once after the first five minutes.
