The list of ingredients looks overwhelming the recipe is quick and simple.

My husband's favourite kolambi bhat...each time that I tried replicating my MIL's recipe each time it turned out ok ok but not that "ma ke haat ka khana wali "taste. This time while my MIL was visiting us I saw this delight being cooked in front of me.

Kolambi bhat


Ingredients :
1/2 cup deveined prawns
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped onion
salt as per taste


Spices :
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp Cumin-Coriander powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder

Marination for prawns
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp lemon juice



Tempering :
2 tbsp ghee
1 petal star anise
2 black peppercorns
1 1" cinnamon stick
2 cloves
1 black cardamom
pinch of asafoetida



Directions :
1Clean prawns and put all the ingredients listed under marination and set aside for minimum 10 min.
2Wash rice till water runs clear and soak it in water for minimum 10min.
3Heat pressure pan and add ghee, once the ghee is hot add all the ingredients listed under tempering, add onion.
4Saute onion on medium heat for 5 min.
5Add ginger garlic paste.Saute for a min.
6Add cumin coriander powder and red chilli powder and saute for a min.
7Add prawns and saute for 2 min .
8Drain water from the rice and add soaked rice and saute for min.
9Add water,garam masala powder and salt and put the lid on.
10Let the rice cook for 1 whistle and let it cool down.


Note :
  • It is important that only one petal of star anise be added. I realised the first mistake I did was adding the entire flower. Star anise has a strong fennel like flavour and it can be very overpowering.
  • The second mistake being substituting ghee with oil. Makes a huge difference in the taste.
  • Also for the rice grains to remain separate brief roasting is important also is important reducing the quantity of water from double the quantity of rice to a little less than that.
