How to make it
- Boil the eggs in water for 8 minutes until hard boiled. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, peel and quarter them. Mix the saffron with the hot stock and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large, wide, non-stick frying or saute pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, ground coriander, cumin and chillies and fry for 10 minutes until golden.
- Add the rice and stock with the saffron threads to the pan, bring to the boil, stir well and cover. Reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the cashew yoghurt. Dry-fry the cashews in a small non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until golden, cool for a few minutes, then mix with the yoghurt, coriander and lemon or lime zest and juice.
- Gently stir the rice, scatter the haddock and prawns on the top, cover again and cook for a further 8 minutes, until the fish and prawns are cooked. Serve the pilaf with the coriander and cashew yoghurt.
