  1. Shiny careful about 1 more thing ………….here we r using electric coil for cooking …………after turning it off also coil will take some time to cool down …………..so that’s why i am turning off the gas even before the rice is not cooked …………….

  2. Yes it is getting steam cooked………… or you can cook the shrimp before by adding little salt & try to reserve the liquid …………you can combine that with the water you cook the rice .

  3. Nice receipe Suby, would definitely like to give a try. I have a doubt – How will the shrimps get cooked if the gas is turned off soon after covering it the contents in the pan with a lid?Is the shrimps going to be steam cooked?
