Wash the prawns well and drain in a strainer. Wash the rice and soak for 15mn in hot water. Strain and leave aside. Season the prawns with the spices, the lemon juice and rind, the mustard and leave aside. Gently fry the onion until yellowish. Add the garlic and the dill. Stir them in then add the prawns. Continue stirring until the prawns turn pinkish. Add the rice and stir to mix all ingredients well. Add three (3) cups of boiling water, stir and bring to the boil. Cook over low heat on top of a simmering ring until rice is cooked, stirring once after waters are absorbed. Serve with a yoghurt salad and a green salad.
