Topic: My King prawn Madras and special fried rice recipe with pics.

[onion]

Hi everyone
I just thought I would post a couple of pics of a King prawn Madras and special fried rice, made with my base sauce recipe.

The recipe is as follows:

1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon madras curry powder
1 Teaspoon chilli powder
Juice of ? a lemon
? Teaspoon salt
Raw king Prawns (as many as you want)
4 tablespoons oil
Chopped coriander
Some base sauce (recipe for my base is on a previous post)


Mix together the spices in water until it quite loose.
Heat a wide bottomed pan and add the oil, not too hot at this stage.
Add the spice mix and very gently fry for a few minutes.
Add the prawns, raise the heat and fry until they just change colour.
Add the lemon juice and stir.
Add the base sauce and heat rapidly for a few minutes.
Add the coriander, reduce the heat and simmer gently for another few minutes until the oil come to the top.

For the rice:

In a saucepan of boiling water place 1? teaspoons salt, 5 cardamoms, 3 dried bay leaves, 4 whole cloves, and 1 piece of cassia bark.

Let this simmer for about twenty minutes.
Remove the bits and pieces from the water.
Add the basmati rice; simmer gently until the rice is a little under done.
Strain off the rice and rinse with boiling water.
Allow this to go cold; you can then splash a bit of colour around if you want.

In a wok heat a nice chunk of ghee until it is very hot.
Add a couple of large spoons of the curry base sauce.
Add the basmati rice and fry over a high heat.
