Traditionally, Dina Begum's dish is cooked in mustard oil, but a little mustard powder works just as well. Eat with steamed rice and a squeeze of lime.

Ingredients
2 x 250g packs frozen Essential Raw King Prawns, defrosted
1 tsp ground turmeric
4 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 medium onion
4 clove/s garlic
2½ cm piece ginger, peeled
2 tsp Colman’s Original Mustard Powder
2 tsp mild chilli powder
2 tsp ground coriander
400ml can coconut milk
4 Thai chillies, split lengthways
1 tbsp coriander, chopped, plus extra to serve (optional)
Steamed rice, to serve
Lime wedges to serve
Method
Pat the prawns dry on
kitchen paper, then put into
a mixing bowl. Add ½ tsp
turmeric and mix well to
coat all the prawns.
Place 2 tbsp oil in a wide,
heavy-bottomed saucepan,
over a medium heat. Once
the oil is hot – after about
1 minute – add the prawns
and gently fry for 2 minutes,
until pink and opaque. You
will notice the prawns will
have curled up. Remove them
with a slotted spoon to a
clean mixing bowl and set
aside, discarding any liquid
left in the pan, if necessary.
Roughly chop the onion,
garlic and ginger, then blend
using a small food processor
to create a smooth paste.
Add the remaining 2 tbsp
oil to the same pan and add
the onion, garlic and ginger
paste, plus 2 tsp sea salt flakes
and the mustard powder.
Turn the heat to low and
sauté gently for 4-5 minutes.
Deglaze the sides of the pan
with 3-4 tbsp water.
Once the water has
evaporated and the oil has
risen to the surface, add the
remaining turmeric, chilli
powder and ground coriander. Sauté for 4-5 minutes to
ensure the spices cook
through. Stir in the prawns
for around 30 seconds.
Add the coconut milk,
increase the heat to medium
and bring to a gentle simmer
for 1 minute or so. Add the
split Thai chillies, reduce
the heat to low and cook
for 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Stir in the
coriander, then remove from
the heat. Sprinkle with extra
coriander, if liked. Serve with
steamed rice and lime wedges
for squeezing over.
