EASY PRAWN CURRY

Easy prawn curry image

This fragrant, perfumed curry has just the right amount of heat, allowing the delicate flavour of the prawns to still sing out. I love to serve it with a fluffy rice cake for a delicious quick and simple supper.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 mug of basmati rice, (300g)
4 cloves of garlic
1 fresh red chilli
4 cm piece of ginger
1 bunch of spring onions
olive oil
2 tablespoons mango chutney
320 g raw peeled king prawns, from sustainable sources
150 g natural yoghurt

Steps:

Put 1 mug of rice and 2 mugs of boiling kettle water (600ml) into a medium nonstick pan with a pinch of sea salt. Boil for 10 minutes, then reduce to a low heat for 5 minutes, after which you'll be able to turn it out as a rice cake.
Meanwhile, peel the garlic and finely slice with the chilli. Peel and matchstick the ginger. Trim the spring onions and slice into 2cm lengths. Put it all into a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and stir-fry for 3 minutes, then stir in the mango chutney. Carefully pour half the mixture into a blender, returning the pan to the heat and adding the prawns to stir-fry. Add ½ a mug of water (150ml) to the blender, blitz until smooth, then pour straight back into the prawn pan. Let it bubble and thicken slightly for 3 minutes, then, off the heat, ripple through the yoghurt. Serve the curry on top of your fluffy rice cake.

I like to serve optional toppings, such as limes, coconut and green onions, in bowls on the table. That way everyone can take what they enjoy. -Sharon Tipton, Casselberry, Florida
