Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt ghee over medium heat. Sauté sliced onion for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Add minced garlic, cumin seeds, and turmeric to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in fresh cilantro, dill, and dried fenugreek leaves. Mix and set aside.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add soaked rice and cook for 5-8 minutes until slightly softened.
- In a non-stick pot, melt ghee over low heat. Layer saffron-infused rice at the base to create Tahdig.
- Layer remaining rice and herb mixture alternately in the pot. Gently fluff rice while ensuring the Tahdig remains intact.
- Cover the pot and steam rice on medium-low heat for 45 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat olive oil. Sauté prawns seasoned with spice mix for about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove prawns and drizzle with lime juice. Serve rice on a platter and arrange prawns on top, garnish accordingly.
