Prawn & Coconut Curry

Prawn Curry with coconut

I cooked this curry a while ago, but if you like a rich tasting curry, you can't go wrong with this mouthwatering dish! 

Simple to cook, but full of flavour. If you like it hot, just up the chilli content. 

30g ginger cut into thin juliennes

1 medium onion

1 Tomato chopped

300g peeled raw prawns

Salt to taste

2 tblsps veg oil

1 tsp Cumin seeds

6 Curry leaves

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground cumin

½  tsp chilli powder

1 tsp turmeric 

1 green chilli sliced lengthways seeds removed

400g tin coconut milk

1 tsp Garam Masala

Small handful toasted Almond flakes

Some chopped coriander

To Cook:

Heat oil in shallow pan

Add ginger, cumin seeds, Curry leaves

And fry for 15 secs or until sizzling

Add the onion and cook until soft about 10 mins adding a splash of water to avoid sticking or burning

Add chopped tomato

Add the rest of spices and chillies

Continue to cook on moderate to low heat until the tomato breaks down with the onion and spice to form a masala

Stir in the coconut milk and carry on cooking until the sauce thickens, add the prawns, cook until prawns are done, turn off the heat, stir in a little Garam Masala, top with Almond Flakes and coriander leaves. 

Serve with rice.
