On a pan on low heat sauté one finely chopped onionand the fresh wet grated coconut till the onions starts to caramelise, afterthis cools give it a spin in the mixer and make a fine paste.
Marinate the washed rice in some the above wetgrated coconut and onion paste, some goda masala , a squeeze of half of alime, salt, ginger and garlic paste and some Cinnamon. Set aside.
De-vein the prawns, wash under tap water andmarinate with red chilli powder, turmeric and green masala.
Take oil in a vessel and sauté the marinated prawnsfor 1-2 minutes.
Heat Oil in a vessel big enough to cook the riceand prawns together that will hold the water as well , add the cloves,remaining cinnamon and one very finely chopped red onion, add the marinatedrice and stir it , do this on a low flame.
Then add the marinated prawnsand water, for rice dishes water is always double the measure of the rice usedso for 2.5 cup measures of rice use 5 cups of water.
Cover and cook on a low flame.
Serve piping hot with a side of cooling curd, you can also serve with your favourite pickle. I generally serve this with a spicy Curry.
