PRESSURE COOKER SHRIMP BIRYANI



Pressure Cooker Shrimp Biryani image

The key to cooking shrimp biryani in an electric pressure cooker is to buy jumbo shrimp, which won't overcook in the amount of time it takes to cook the rice. This version, from Chandra Ram's "The Complete Indian Instant Pot Cookbook," is bright with ginger root, fresh curry leaves and plenty of lime juice. Kashmiri chile is a very mild red chile powder that can be found in Indian markets, but if you can't get it, substitute three parts sweet paprika and one part cayenne. And if you can't get the fresh curry leaves, simply leave them out. The dish won't be quite as fragrant, but will still be delicious.

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 fresh curry leaves, torn into pieces
1 1/2 cups boiling water
