Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 30-35 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water.
- In a bowl, mix the yoghurt with half the tandoori spice, half the curry powder and a good pinch of sea salt. Stir well then add the prawns and 1/2 tbsp oil. Leave to marinate. Preheat the oven grill to high heat (240C).
- Make the pickled onions; zest the lime. Finely slice half the onion. Put the onion, half the honey, juice from the lime, a pinch of sea salt and 1/2 tbsp oil into a small bowl. Mix and set aside to pickle.
- Thread the prawns onto the skewers. Place on a foil-lined tray and grill for 10 mins. Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot. Cook for longer if necessary.
- Dice the mango into 1cm cubes. Halve the tomatoes (quarter any larger ones). Roughly chop the coriander and spinach. In a large bowl, mix together the mango, tomatoes, spinach, cooked rice, zest, 1/2 tbsp olive oil, most of the coriander and the pickled onion liquid. Toss together and season with sea salt to taste.
- Serve the salad onto plates and top with the prawn skewers. Sprinkle with remaining coriander and scatter over the pickled onions.
