Method

Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 25 mins

In a large non-stick pan, dry-fry the curry paste with the onions and garlic for 5 minutes until the onion starts to soften. Tip the rice into the pan and coat it in the curry paste. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil and then turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Allow the rice to simmer gently for 12-15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked. Near the end of the cooking time, you may want to stir it occasionally, to stop it from catching on the bottom.

Turn off the heat and stir in the prawns, chilli and peas. Re-cover the pan and allow it to stand for 5 minutes.

Using a fork, fluff up the rice and check seasoning. Scatter with coriander and serve with some mango chutney.
