- Add the Korma sauce, the coconut milk, the water, stir well to combine and allow to come to a gentle bubble about 4 minutes,
- Add the prawns, gently mix, pop the lid on, then place into the oven for 17 to 20minutes or until the rice has absorbed all but a couple of tablespoons of the cooking liquor
- Remove from the oven, add the peas, gently fold through, level and flatten out the surface of the rice and set aside
- Turn your grill to its hottest setting
