Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Place the prawns in a bowl with the lime juice, 2 tbsp water, half the salt and turmeric, all the red chilli powder. Mix, cover and chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour.

  2. 2

    If using fresh fenugreek leaves, soak them in a bowl of a little water so they lose the bitterness for 15 minutes. This time I only had powdered which I added to the pan later.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a hot pan, add the ginger, garlic, green chilli, finely chopped spring onions, sliced fennel. Sauté untill onions softened.

  4. 4

    Add to the pan the remainder of the turmeric and salt, the kafir lime leaves, the tomatoes, the fenugreek (powdered or fresh), 2 tbsp water and sauté for a further 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add to the pan the coriander, the marinated prawns, stir over the heat for a minute, then add the coconut milk and simmer for 3 minutes or untill the prawns are cooked (they will turn from grey to pink in colour).

  6. 6

    Serve over rice. Enjoy!
