Machbous Rubyan (Rice With Shrimps) image

This is a classic Gulf dish -- yum yum! I've adapted this recipe from a recipe booklet that came free with "Ship Madras Curry Powder" I made it the other day and my husband thought it was wonderful! Serve with a nice, colourful salad, otherwise it'll look a bit yellow yellow yellow! Next time I want to try putting whole king prawns on top to add a bit of colour!

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
