Prawn Biryani

This Prawn Biryani Recipe is courtsey our good friend Lavie. When I visited her one evening, she packed some for me and I really enjoyed it! It was awesome! Hence I got the recipe for prawn biryani from her. I have yet to try it out myself but I already know it will be good, so I am sharing it here.
