Add the dry spices the tomatoes, lemon juice and cook for about 15 minutes add a cup of water and yoghurt. Add rice and mix well. Layer seafood on top of rice add another 1/2 cup of water or so depending what kind of rice you using. I always use basmati or a long grain white rice for akhnis or breyanis.
