Pour the oil and when it is hot put in the garlic, let it brown very slightly, add the chillies and fry for 1 min, add the pepper powder, turmeric, a little salt and the prawns and fry till the prawns are cooked. Keep the fire on slow and add the cooled rice a little at a time....until all the rice is mixed with the prawns. Switch off the gas and add the lime juice and stir it nicely. Let it rest covered for 5 mins.
