easy meal idea
Quick Keralan prawn curry
Curries don’t get much simpler, or more soothing, than this simple midweek favourite.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan on a medium heat, add ½ tbsp black mustard seeds, cover and cook until the seeds pop, then toss in 2 sliced red onions, a couple of pinches of salt and cook till the onions are soft.
- Add 1 tbsp of Ginger & Turmeric Paste, along with ½ tbsp garam masala and 1 tsp brown sugar. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add a tin of coconut milk and half a tin’s worth of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, adding a handful of plump prawns for the last 5 minutes. Season with a big squeeze of lime, sprinkle with chopped coriander, and serve with basmati rice.
