Prawns are added to the goodness of traditional Indian fried rice. This can either be accompanied by a curry or be served on its own for a full meal. In addition, it is healthier than its traditional version due to the use of olive oil instead of ghee.

Let it boil and simmer till the water is half absorbed and then cover the pan with a lid and it onto a very slow heat until the rice is cooked.
