Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoons olive or rapeseed oil
  • 1 onion sliced finely
  • 500 g peeled and cooked king prawns
  • 2 cm piece of ginger grated
  • 2 garlic cloves grated or crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon chilli flakes (or to taste)
  • 400 ml tin coconut milk (you may not need all of this)
  • 3 tablespoons ground almonds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander (cilantro) chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Basmati rice and/or naan breads to serve

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the oil in a wide, deep saucepan and add the sliced onions. Cook on a low heat, covered with a lid, for 5 minutes until the onions are soft, but not brown.
  2. Take the lid off and add the grated ginger and garlic together with the turmeric, garam masala and chilli. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry
  3. Add roughly ½ of the coconut milk and all of the prawns, turn the heat up and bring to the boil, then turn the heat back down and gently simmer for 3 minutes. If you find the curry becomes too dry, you can add in some or all of the rest of the coconut milk.
  4. After 5 minutes, add the ground almonds and chopped coriander and cook for 1 more minute, then serve with rice and/or naans and garnish with a little more chopped coriander.
