Super Simple Prawn Curry

Nash Knight

Report

This Super Simple Prawn Curry is delicious, very easy and takes less than half an hour to make. Its mild flavour makes it great for those who don’t like hot curries. Serve with rice or naans for a really easy peasy midweek meal.

Instructions

Put the oil in a wide, deep pan and add the sliced onion. Cook the onion on a low heat with the lid on for about 5 minutes until softened but not brown.
Meanwhile grind the mustard and cumin seeds in a pestle and mortar, crush the garlic and grate the ginger.
When the onions are ready, add the ground spices, chilli flakes, garlic and ginger. Fry for 1 minute with the lid off, stirring frequently.
Tip in the passata (or tinned tomatoes) and half the coriander. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil, then turn down low and simmer with the lid off for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes add the garam masala, the coconut milk and the prawns. Cook for a couple of minutes until the prawns are hot and the sauce is bubbling gently.
Serve with rice or naans and sprinkled with the remaining coriander.
