Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Start the Rice
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a saucepan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until softened, 5-6 mins, stir occasionally. Add the pasanda spice (add less spice if you don't like heat) and half the garlic. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the basmati rice and stir together. Pour in the water (see ingredient list for amount) and stir in the vegetable stock powder.

Cook the Rice
3

Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to medium low to simmer. Cover with a lid (or tin foil) and cook for 10 mins. Then remove from the heat and leave (still covered) for another 10 mins, or until the rest of the meal is ready! The rice will finish cooking in it’s own steam.

Finish the Prep
4

While the rice cooks, trim the green beans and chop into 3 pieces. Trim the carrot (no need to peel) and coarsely grate it. Zest and halve the lime. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and leaves). Pop the coriander in a bowl and add a squeeze of lime juice and the olive oil (see ingredient list for amount). Season with salt and pepper. Stir together. Taste and add more lime juice to if you think it needs it.

Fry!
5

When the rice has 10 mins left to cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the green beans and season with salt and pepper. Stir fry until starting to char, 3-4 mins. Then add the prawns and stir fry for 3-4 mins. Add the garlic, stir and cook 1 minute more. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the centre. Remove the pan from the heat.

Serve
6

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it up with a fork and stir in the grated carrot. Add the rice mixture to the green bean and prawn mixture along with the lime zest. Stir everything together, then taste and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it. Spoon into bowls and top with the coriander dressing. Cut the remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside for anyone that likes things limey. Enjoy!
