Prawncurry Recipes

Steps:

• Shell and devein prawns.
• Place prawns in a bowl and pour cream over, cover and chill for 1 hour.
• Chop onion.
• Crush garlic and add salt.
• Melt butter in a heavy pan and saute onion and garlic over a low heat until onion is soft but not coloured.
• Add curry power, still over low heat and cook for about 3 minutes to release aroma.
• Sprinkle plain flour and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and add chicken stock, whisking until smooth.
• Return to a higher heat and cook until it boils and thickens.
• Reduce heat and add prawns with the cream, stirring to mix well together and until prawns are heated through.

Steps:

• Put oil in large pot on high heat.
• When VERY hot, sauté onion and garlic, then ADD Worcestershire sauce.
• Mix curry powder in approximately 1 cup of water; ad to onion mix. Reduce heat and let simmer for approximately 30 minutes, stirring so that mixture doesn't stick to pan. ADD prawns and more water if needed; let simmer until prawns are cooked.
• SERVE HOT WITH HOT COOKED RICE.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Tip in the onion and ginger, then cook for a few mins until softened. Stir in the curry paste, then cook for 1 min more. Pour over the chopped tomatoes and coconut cream. Bring to the boil, then leave to simmer for 5 mins, adding a little boiling water if the mixture gets too thick.
• Tip in the prawns, then cook for 5-10 mins more, depending on how large they are. Serve alongside some plain rice and sprinkle with a little chopped coriander, if you like.

Steps:

• Boil water in a saucepan and cook enough rice for 2 people.
• Heat some oil in a frying pan and throw in the beans, cooking for about 2 minutes.
• Add the peppers and mushrooms, fry for another minute and then add the prawn, chicken stock, fish sauce, curry paste and herbs.
• Cook until the beans are tender.
• Add the coconut milk and lime juice, cooking for a further 2 minutes over a medium heat and taking care not to scald the coconut milk.
• Serve over basmati rice, preferrably in a shallow bowl.

Steps:

• In a food processor, blitz the chillies, onion and ginger with 3 tbsp water into a smoothish paste - you may need to scrape it down the sides.
• Heat the oil in a heavy pan or wok. When hot, toss in the mustard and fenugreek seeds, and curry leaves - they'll crackle and pop - and fry for 10 seconds. Add the onion paste, turn the heat down a tad and cook without colouring for about 5 minutes. Splash in some water if it starts to catch.
• Add the turmeric and cracked peppercorns and stir the spices around for a few seconds before tipping in the prawns. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, stirring all the time. The milk will take on a yellow colour from the turmeric. Cook for 1 minute until everything's heated through. Squeeze over some lime, sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve with rice.

Steps:

• In a food processor, blitz the onion, chili, ginger and garlic together to make a paste. Set aside.
• In a large pan, heat the oil over a medium heat.
• Add the fenugreek, turmeric, asafoetida, mustard seeds, and curry leaves to the pan, and fry for a couple of minutes.
• Add the paste and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the prawns and water. Cook until they start to turn pink.
• Pour in the coconut milk, salt, pepper, and lime juice, and cook for another few minutes.
• Serve with parathas, naan bread, and rice.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Prepare the fresh garam masala: in a coffee grinder, grind the cardamom seeds, 3 whole cloves, and 3 cinnamon sticks to a fine powder. Set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the 4 whole cloves, 4 cardamom pods, and 2 sticks of cinnamon and fry for a few seconds (take care as cloves tend to pop out of the pan). Stir in the grated onion and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook and stir until the liquid dries and the onion no longer smells raw, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger paste and garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Stir in the turmeric and cayenne pepper. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in the water, cover the pan, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. When the mixture is just below boiling, stir in the prawns. Sprinkle the mixture with almost all of the fresh garam masala powder, reserving a pinch to use as a garnish. Gently stir to combine. Do not cover the pan at this stage, as the coconut milk will curdle.
• As soon as the prawns are pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, add the ghee. Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the reserved garam masala over the dish and serve.

Steps:

• Chop the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger. It doesn't have to be neat as it's all going to be blended.
• Fry the Onion, Garlic, Chilli and Ginger in a little oil for 2 minutes.
• Add the Red pesto and fry for another 2 minutes
• Add the 150 ml boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes
• Blend the contents on a medium speed for 30 seconds.
• Return blended ingredients to the pan and add prawns. Season with a little salt and pepper and serve with boiled rice.

Steps:

• Fry onion in oil or ghee until just tender. (3 to 4 minutes).
• Add cinnamon stick, cardamoms, cloves and bay leaf.
• Fry for one minute and then add ginger and garlic pastes.
• Add chilli, cumin, coriander and salt. Fry for half a minute.
• Add chopped green pepper and tomatoes, then bring to boil.
• Turn down heat and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes.
• Add prawns and let them 'poach' in the sauce for three minutes or so, or until done.
• Add chopped green coriander leaves and chopped chillies.
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• 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.
