Ingredients
1 Onion (sliced)
2 Cloves Garlic (crushed)
500g Frozen Prawns
2 Teaspoons Ground Coriander
1/2 Teaspoon Ginger
1 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin

1 Large Pan (2/3rds full with boiling salted water)
1 Frying Pan

1 Garlic Press
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Spoon

The Good Bit
  1. Get the rice on first, cook as described on the home page (10-15 minutes in boiling salted water) whilst that is cooking, heat the oil in the frying pan and cook the onion and garlic until just beginning to colour
  2. In the mixing bowl, mix the spices together and add the vinegar until you have a smooth paste, then tip that into the onion and garlic and stir for 3 minutes, tip in the prawns and stir well so they are evenly coated.
  3. Finally pour in the water and bring to the boil, simmer gently for 4-5 minutes (check the prawns are heated through, then serve with the rice.
