Boil 700ml of water (exactly) with ½ tsp of salt. Add the basmati rice and turn the heat to it’s lowest setting. Put a tight lid on the pan and leave for 10 mins. After 10 mins remove from the heat and leave for 10 more mins. Don’t lift the lid for 20 mins in total or the rice won’t cook properly.

Chop the prawns into little chunks the size of your thumbnail.
