Ingredients
- 130 g brown Basmati rice or brown jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 carrot thinly sliced into half-moons
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- ½ teaspoon ginger grated (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
- 200 ml full-fat coconut milk (about ½ a can)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder or half stock cube
- 150 g Raw king prawns heads and shell removed
- ½ lime
- 3 tablespoon fresh coriander finely chopped
Instructions
- Place the brown basmati into a large pot, add in 600 ml of water, cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a minimum and simmer for 40 minutes, until the rice is soft and slightly chewy. Turn the heat off, and let the rice sit undisturbed for 5 minutes before serving.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add in sliced carrot and bell pepper and stir-fry them for about 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic, ginger (if using), and red curry paste into the skillet, and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes.
- Pour in the coconut milk followed by the stock powder, then bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the king prawns into the skillet with the other veggies, and cook all the ingredients for a further 2 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.
- Turn the heat off, drizzle the curry with the juice of half lime, sprinkle the fresh coriander on top and serve with basmati rice.

- Vegetable stock powder: for extra flavour, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger and ¼ teaspoon of lemongrass paste.
