Add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil to same pan over a medium heat. Add paste. Stir for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir in rice and 2 ½ cups water.

Bring to boil. Cover with lid. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Un-cover.

TIP! Madras is a hot curry paste. It can be replaced with a mild paste, so check jars for heat rating. Garlic prawns are available from the deli section of most major supermarkets.
