- Put the onion in a pan with 1tsp oil and fry gently for 5 minutes or until it starts to soften, add the turmeric, garlic, ginger and red chilli and keep cooking for a few minutes until you end up with a rough, fragrant paste. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes, adding a splash of water if you need to. Stir in the prawns and cook until they turn opaque. Serve with rice or Indian bread, topped with a dollop of yogurt.
Making it healthier
You don't need to fry the base of a curry in lots of oil: a tsp is enough to start the onions. Tomatoes make a good low-fat base, then use low-fat yogurt to add creaminess at the end. Don't add the yogurt to the dish as it cooks or the acidity in the tomatoes plus the heat may make it split.
