Let's get started :D
These are step to make basic curry.
First , heat some vegetable oil in a big soup pot.
Before the oil starts sizzling ,
put your chopped onions , carrot pieces  , mushrooms pieces and bell pepper pieces into the pot. This can increase the sweet taste of vegetables in the curry.
Stir those vegetables with medium low heat. We just wanna soft those vege , not brown them. *
When you can smell the aroma of the vege ,
fill 3/4 of your pot with hot water and let it simmer for at least five minutes.
After the water starts to boil ,
turn off the heat and it's time to put in those curry roux block.
Stir until roux blocks completely melts and lumps are no longer seen.
Then continue to let the curry simmer to let it thickens.
And now the curry is done :D

Now let's continue with the rice part,
put some rice into an oven proofed rice bowl.
Then add a little curry we just made .
Place some raw prawns onto the hot curry roux topping and pour more curry onto it.
And you're asking me why i did'nt put my prawns into the curry pot earlier ? Oh yeah , i forgot to mention that seafood cooks really fast so be careful not to put it into the hot pot because we're still gonna grill it. Unless you want tough textured rubber-liked prawns.
Next , sprinkle desire amount of cheese onto your serving of curry and pop it into the oven and grill it for about 10~20 minutes until the surface of the cheese turns golden brown.
Be careful not to burn yourself when taking out your bowl from the oven.
Garnish it with some chopped spring onions on top.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper if you wish for extra taste .

And now it's ready to serve  o((^w^))o

I hope you enjoy ! :)
This recipe is enough to serve 2~3 helpings.
