Method

  • step 1

    Drizzle some oil from the curry paste jar into a wok or large frying pan, gently heat, then add the onion. Sizzle over a low heat for 4 mins until the onion softens, then stir in the paste and cook for a few mins longer. Stir in the prawns and tomatoes, then bring to a simmer. If using raw prawns, simmer until they have changed colour and are cooked through. Season, if you like, then add the coriander just before serving with boiled rice and naan bread.

RECIPE TIPS
FRAGRANT COCONUT CURRY

Sizzle a couple

of tbsp Thai green curry paste in a wok or frying

pan for a few moments, then add the prawns

and a 400g can reduced-fat coconut milk instead of the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then cook until the prawns are cooked through. Add

the coriander just before serving.

BUYING PRAWNS

Look out for prawns labelled

‘North Atlantic’, as they’ve

undergone a much shorter journey

than farmed prawns from the tropics.

North Atlantic prawns also have a

delicious, sweet flavour.

Loved this, it was quick, simple and bursting with flavour, I had it with Indian mushroom fried rice and it was fantastic!

Worthy of 5 Stars although I did modify the recipe: With the chopped onion, I added a thumb-sized piece of chopped ginger;1/2 green chilli, finely chopped;1/4 of a green pepper, chopped (for colour and interest). I used 2 rounded tablespoons of Pataks Jalfrezi paste. I heated the tomatoes, garlic…

question

My partner doesn’t like King Prawns have they have too much of a fishy flavour.. don’t ask. Would coldwater prawns work the same?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes cold water prawns would be fine. You can also use sliced chicken breast but it will tale a bit longer. We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Would king prawns be okay for this recipe? If so would you add them at the last minute or is large prawns best for this? Thank you

I made the ‘Indian’ version. I added spinach before adding the prawns.
