3. Add chopped onions and sauté till translucent. Add the chopped peppers, prawns and crayfish.
4. Once the oil starts to separate from the cream, add rice, knorr cube and some salt to taste. Stir and leave to boil.
5. Cover with a foil paper and a tight lid. Cook for about 15 minutes. Add in the scentleaves at this point and allow to simmer on low heat for five minutes. Turn off heat and leave for another 10 minutes with the foil still covering the pot. This will allow the steam to cook the rice and give it the party-rice taste.
