Heat oil in a deep bottomed pan and add the cinnamon, cloves and cardamom.

Saute the onions and ginger till onions turn slightly brown

Now add the green chillies and the dry powders and saute till the raw smell is gone.

Add the prawns, salt and let it cook on low flame, sprinkle water if necessary.

When the prawns are done, take off fire and mix in the cooked rice.
