      Hi Maria,

      Firstly, hearty thanks for such a superb blog full of wonderful recipes………

      I tried this recipe but with slight shortcuts.

      Instead of cooking the prawns earlier, i cooked all the ingredients in 1 go (i hv a small kid at home, so time is a major factor :) )

      Before sauting the onions, i put in all the whole masala, then onlons, tomato and wen they were done i added the prawns also, so the flavuor of the prawns mixed well with onions n tomato and cooked for about 5 mins(half cooked). Then added fried rice and rest of the recipe I followed sincerely :)

        Cheers
