To prepare, simply heat the king prawn makhani according to the package instructions. This usually involves transferring the contents to a saucepan and simmering gently over medium heat until thoroughly heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave the dish in a suitable container. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating and to prevent sticking. Be careful not to overcook the prawns, as they can become tough. Serve immediately after heating for the best texture and flavor.
