How to make simple prawn pulao in a pressure cooker?

• Heat up oil in a pressure cooker. Once oil is hot enough add cumin seeds and bay leaves. Saute them for few seconds.
• Add sliced onions and salt to taste. Adding salt at this point will help onion to cook fast.
• Once the onion is nice golden brown, add green chillies, ginger and garlic. Saute until raw smell from ginger-garlic goes away.
• Add tomato, coriander powder and garam masala. Mix and cook for 3-4 minutes until tomato is tender and gets mashed up with onion.
• Add prawns and yogurt. Mix and cook for a minute.
• Now add soaked rice, lemon juice and around 2 cups of water. Mix and put the lid on. Cook until 2-3 whistles.

• Serve hot with onion rayata.
