Thai Prawn Curry Recipes

THAI RED PRAWN CURRY

Steps:

• Fry the onion, ginger, chillies until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.
• Grind the spices in a pestle & mortar and add to the pan. Cook for a minute or so, stirring all the time to temper the spices.
• Add the tomatoes and the sugar. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Open the tin of coconut milk. If it has split into thin mlik and coconut cream, pour off the thin milk and add the thick coconut cream to the pan. If your milk is well mixed then add half the tin to the pan. It will still be very good but I prefer to add the thick coconut cream over the thinner milk.
• Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the prawns and cook until pink. It will only take a few minutes. Take care not to over cook them.
• Add the coriander and 1tbsp fresh lemon juice to lift the flavour. Season. Serve immediately.
