Ingredients

1 large onion , roughly chopped
1 thumb-sized piece ginger , peeled and grated
2 large garlic cloves
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2-3 tbsp tikka curry paste
400g can chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato purée
½ tbsp light brown soft sugar
3 cardamom pods , bashed
200g brown basmati rice
3 tbsp ground almonds
300g raw king prawns
1 tbsp double cream
½ bunch of coriander , roughly chopped
naan breads , warmed, to serve (optional)

Steps:

Put the onion, ginger and garlic in a food processor and blitz to a smooth paste. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or pan over a medium heat. Add the onion paste and fry for 8 mins or until lightly golden. Stir in the curry paste and fry for 1 min more. Add the tomatoes, tomato purée, sugar and cardamom pods. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for another 10 mins.
Cook the rice following pack instructions.
Scoop the cardamom out of the curry sauce and discard, then blitz with a hand blender, or in a clean food processor. Return to the pan, add the almonds and prawns, and cook for 5 mins. Season to taste and stir through the cream and coriander. Serve with the rice and naan breads, if you like.
