Prawn Pilau

Pre-heat your oven to 200ºC.

In an oven-proof pan, gently sauté the onion in the oil and butter until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger, Indian and Masala Rub and fry for 2 minutes. Add the rice and fry for another minute, coating the grains of rice in the spicy oil.

Pour in the stock and quickly arrange the prawns on top in a concentric circle. Place a circle of wax or baking paper over the pan with a hole in the centre for steam to escape. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

Delicious served with Butter Naan (Recipe Mailer # 11).
