Rice Ingredients

Method

Curry Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the diced tomatoes and curry powder to the pan. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Add Coconut Milk and Prawns

    Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the giant prawns and slit green chili. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Season and Garnish

    Add salt to taste and stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.

Rice Directions

  1. 5

    Prepare Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Cook Rice

    In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, saffron strands, orange zest, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 7

    Simmer Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and the water is absorbed.

  4. 8

    Add Nuts and Raisins

    In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the sliced almonds and raisins to the rice. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
