When I give my little wisdom on life it doesn’t mean I am a perfect human being, it just means I learn a lot more as I am getting older and becoming a little wiser.

My Recipes
My life is filled with kind people, I cannot deny that. I have friends that are loyal to me and me to them. We have stuck with each other through thick and thin. I have followers that are also kind and I receive messages of support all the time, for which I am so grateful. In saying that unfortunately we do have some mean, angry people in this world. There are people that deliberately try to bash others and hurt them. What do people achieve by this. I’ve had women messaging me to say how disgusting my recipes are and they’ve had to throw ingredients away and I’ve wasted their money. It was a few in one week so it’s a bit too much ugliness to deal with at one go. Nobody in this world is perfect and if my recipes doesn’t work there could be a number of reasons. I am not saying my recipes are perfect but if something goes wrong there is a nice way to communicate it. I am always happy to help.
Always be Kind
I am human and I do this for the love of it so if you choose to stay on my blog the least you can do is be kind. I am sorry there are bloggers out there that see their blog as a business but I see it as my passion. It means the world to me, giving something back to the world is all I ever wanted to do. Thank you to all my grateful followers that appreciate my recipes and my posts and always communicate with respect, whether it’s good or bad. I guess I am looking for a perfect world which I won’t be finding anytime soon…haha! Wish we could all be a little sensitive to others and be kind, kindness doesn’t cost a thing and yet people struggle to practice it. I live in hope so maybe one day it will turn into a magical, kind world. Until then I will continue cooking my sometimes “not so perfect” dishes to keep me sane…Lol!
How do I cook the Soya Prawn Pilaf
Like any other pilaf this Soya Prawn Pilaf is cooked with spices, soya prawns and rice. I don’t cook loads of soya, just the odd thing every once in a while. I prefer to cook fresh vegetable as my kids are not fans of soya. For this Pilaf I fried some onion to scatter on top. I also added potatoes, which I prefer to fry before adding to my Pilaf. Then it’s the sauce for the curry and I fried my prawns just a little before adding it to the sauce. The Pilaf is then popped into the oven for an hour and it’s done. You can always skip the oven and continue cooking it on the stovetop if you prefer. However, you have to cook it on a low heat and constantly keep an eye on it to prevent scorching.
What Rice do I use
Basmati Rice is my preferred choice for Pilafs and Biryanis,however you can use normal long grain rice. My favorite brand of Basmati rice is definitely Maharani. It is long grains and the rice never gets mushy like some brands of rice. It would be a lie if I said this dish wasn’t a little bit of a process to cook. It does require a few steps but I promise any Biryani or Pilaf is worth the effort.
