Cooking Steps

Get Started

1

Boil a half-full kettle.
Pour it into a saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.
Boil the rice, 10-12 mins.
Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.

Dal Time

2

Pop a saucepan on high heat. Drain the prawns.
Add the prawns, North Indian style spice mix, tikka masala paste, lentils and their liquid, creme fraiche and veg stock paste.
