King Prawn Curry

Published on 10 June 2025 at 18:04

Our King Prawn curry is a delectable blend of fresh, succulent prime prawns lovingly simmered in a rich, aromatic curry sauce that bursts with bold and exotic spices. Each delightful bite is a true celebration of authentic, vibrant flavours, enhanced with tangy notes of tamarind, perfectly balanced by the deep, earthy warmth of cumin and the fragrant essence of coriander.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200g King Prawns
  • 1 onion sliced
  • ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed or grated
  • 2cm ginger finely grated
  • 300g passata (or tinned tomatoes)
  • 1 tsp garam masala and cumin
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 2 tsp tandoori masala
  • Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Put the oil in a wide, deep pan and add the sliced onion. Cook the onion on a low heat with the lid on for about 5 minutes until softened but not brown.
  • Meanwhile crush the garlic and grate the ginger. When the onions are ready, add the spices, chilli flakes, garlic and ginger. Fry for 1 minute with the lid off, stirring frequently.
  • Tip in the passata (or tinned tomatoes) and half the coriander.
  • Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil, then turn down low and simmer with the lid off for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes add the garam masala, the coconut milk and the prawns. Cook for a couple of minutes until the prawns are hot and the sauce is bubbling gently.
  • Serve with cardamom rice or naans and sprinkled with the remaining coriander
