2. In the mixing bowl, mix the spices together and add the vinegar until you have a smooth paste, then tip that into the onion and garlic and stir for 3 minutes, tip in the prawns and stir well so they are evenly coated.
3. Finally pour in the water and bring to the boil, simmer gently for 4-5 minutes (check the prawns are heated through, then serve with the rice.
