Method

  1. Heat the oil and fry the onion, ginger, garlic and chilli for 5 mins until starting to soften. Add the spices, curry leaves and potato, then cook for 1 min more. Stir in the coconut milk and tomatoes, cover and leave to simmer for 10 mins until the potato is tender.
  2. Add the spinach and prawns. Cook for 1 min more until the spinach wilts and the prawns turn pink.
  3. Meanwhile, make the rice. Tip the cumin into a pan and toast over a dry heat for 30 secs. Add the rice, salt to taste and 400ml water, then cover and cook for 8-10 mins until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Serve with the curry.

    Brilliant recipe!!!!! ..... Way too complicated though .... I made a couple of subtle changes to the recipe .... I substituted all of the above ingredients for a pot noodle and a hand full of frozen prawns (genius!!).... Simply follow the instructions on the side of the pot noodle!! ..... Mmmm I'll definitely be making this one again!!!! My late Uncle Isaac loved it!!!!

    very good, easy to make and fast! I just felt it lacked a hint of sweetness so I added a tsp of brown suger.

    Excellent taste and straightforward to make. I reduced the amount of rice as we haven't got huge appetites.

    Loved the freshness of the spinach and the tartness of the cherry tomatoes. I didn't think the spoon of ground coriander would make the dish seasoned enough, so instead I used a spoon of mild Sri Lankan dry roasted curry powder, which worked a treat.

    This is the only recipe that I have tried on this site that I wouldn't make for a second time.....It was my first time trying prawns and I found them to be hard and flavourless despite following exact cooking times - But maybe that's a personal taste!?
