Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
400g can cherry tomatoes
1-2 tbsp tamarind paste (see tip, below)
250g raw king prawns
250g cooked basmati rice
handful of coriander leaves, to serve

Steps:

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 5-8 mins until light golden. Stir in the chilli, garlic and ginger, and fry for another minute before adding the spices. Tip in the cherry tomatoes, swirl the can out with a splash of water and stir that into the pan as well.
Simmer for 5 mins until the tomatoes burst and the sauce thickens. Stir in the tamarind and prawns, and simmer for 2-3 mins until the prawns are cooked. Serve the curry on top of the rice, with the coriander scattered over.
