Long day for me and tired spouse so there was a need for quick 'n'
cheerful, welcoming and warming meal to raise our spirits. Managed to
whip up a nice 15 min special so I thought I'd share the recipe.

From the fridge & cupboards, I grabbed:

½ large onion diced
½ red pepper diced
½ green pepper diced
Lazy ginger
4 cloves garlic diced
1 medium dollop Veeraswamy Gujarat Masala Paste
1 medium dollop Rajah Mild Curry Paste
1 medium dollop Rajah Red Chili Paste
4 or 5 tblsp of the Infamous 'Secret Ingredient' Curry Base
(http://snurl.com/2wv4)
12-14 shelled king prawns halved (care of chef husband of friend)
2 crushed frozen bird's eye chilis (for my portion)
1 large cup Basmati rice

METHOD:

1. Gently fry off the first five ingredients until softened.
2. Add the paste, paste and paste and mix in thoroughly.
3. Add the ISICB and stir in over medium heat until bubbling.
4. Reduce heat slightly and gently stir in prawns.
5. Add more chilis if 'ReadyBrek' glow is req.

Served on rice

Low on authenticity, high on yum factor.

Hehehe! "Paste, paste and paste".

No response from Wetherspoons yet (their legal dept is too busy drawing
up writs for Wazza) but the Bombay Brasserie are sending a cab over for
a sample.

And so they should. Make sure you open a window and you'll be competing
quite well with your neighbours.
