Method
- Start the measured dry rice using its packet water quantity and cooking time. Brown rice takes longer than white; do not substitute a dry weight with the same weight of microwave rice.
- Mix the measured herbs, spices and citrus into the listed cooking sauce or dressing. Keep cold yoghurt/mayonnaise dressings for serving; dry seasonings are cooked briefly with the pan vegetables, not burnt in an empty pan.
- Cook the raw king prawns in the measured oil over medium heat: allow about 4–5 minutes per side for a salmon fillet, adjusting for thickness; prawns usually take 3–5 minutes, turning. Fish must be opaque and flake easily; prawns must be pink and opaque. Check for bones before serving.
- Chop the onion, peppers and other vegetables. Add them to the pan with the measured cooking sauce, any listed tomatoes and50 ml water. Simmer for10–15 minutes, stirring; curry paste must cook for its full label time. Use canned ready-cooked kidney beans, chickpeas or lentils, never raw dried beans.
- Fold the cooked protein or pulses into the sauce. Heat until steaming hot throughout; add spinach near the end and wilt fully. Add any yoghurt or cream cheese away from the heat. Divide with the freshly cooked rice and serve immediately.

Estimated per-serving nutrition. Ingredient weights multiplied by CoFID 2021 or explicitly named UK product-label values, preserving missing values; traces treated as zero. Declared product/cooked-state proxies remain estimates. AI author calculation, not independent human, clinical or physical cooking validation.

Food safety and storage
- Check every bought ingredient label for allergens, use-by dates and cooking instructions. Recipe tags are not an allergy-suitability guarantee.
- Wash hands, utensils and surfaces. Wash produce unless labelled ready washed; keep raw meat and fish separate from ready-to-eat food.
- Cool leftover rice quickly, ideally within 1 hour. Refrigerate at 0–5°C and eat within 24 hours of original cooking. Keep cold packed lunches chilled; any earlier ingredient deadline governs.
- Reheat rice and hot toppings once until steaming hot throughout; eat immediately. Keep salad and cold dressing separate.
Author estimates, not physical cooking trials. Packet instructions and safe doneness govern; larger batches need longer.
