Cooking Steps

Make the rice
1

• In a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil. Add basmati rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes (the rice will finish cooking in its own steam!). • When the rice has finished cooking, stir crushed peanuts and half the butter through rice. • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine mild North Indian spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add peeled prawns and toss to coat.

Cook the prawns
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook peeled prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild paste, but use less if you’re sensitive to heat! Reduce heat to medium-high, then add tomato paste, mild curry paste and half the garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add light cooking cream, the brown sugar and water (for the curry). Cook, stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Add baby spinach leaves and cook, stirring until wilted, 1 minute.

Grill the tortillas
3

• While the prawns are cooking, preheat oven grill to high. • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining butter and remaining garlic. • Microwave in 10 second bursts, until fragrant and melted. • Spread garlic butter over one side of the mini flourtortillas. • Place tortillas directly on a wire oven rack. Grill until golden, 3-5 minutes

Serve up
4

• Divide mild Indian butter prawns and peanut rice between bowls. • Serve with garlic tortillas. Enjoy!
