Cooking Mama's Cooking Challenge #27: Curried Pilaf

I'll have to make my best guess about what kind of rice preparation as that's not included in the recipe. I'll be using steamed basmati (long grain) rice with no extra seasoning.

Slice an onion!

No time to do rice cooking but we got the 3 stages of onion dicing once again.

Slice!

once again im doing 2 onions cause they're smallish and like, there's no other veg.

Chop up!

not even peas!!! curry pilaf without peas...

Peel the shrimp!

i aint need to peel no shrimp i got my frozen legion of micropeens

Chop up!

these dont need to be any smaller imo STRAIGHT IN THERE

Saute!

I'm cooking these in a bit of butter tbh, i dont really like to go in that dry when frying onions and rice. Plus butter is more indian style than sesame oil or whatever.

Saute!

When the onion and prawns are looking appetising we throw in the rice, salt and pepper and a generous helping of curry powder.

Finish!

Bit dry mate. Nah its pretty nice though. Would make more sense to cook the rice in stock with a bayleaf and some turmeric and cardamom if have thought, but this is still really delicious just as is. You could punch it up a bit with some sliced apple, or almonds and raisins.
