Method

  1. Open the coconut milk, pour the thin milk into a jug, keeping back any thick coconut cream. Scoop the coconut cream into a blender. Add 2-3 tbsp of the coconut milk plus curry paste, sugar and coriander stalks and blend to a smooth paste. Heat a wok, tip in the paste, stir fry for 1-2 mins, then pour in the remaining milk from the jug.
  2. Bring to a simmer, then add the prawns and spinach. Cook until the prawns are heated through and spinach has wilted. Add lime juice and fish sauce, then spoon into bowls. Scatter over coriander leaves and serve with plain rice or noodles.

Making it one-pot or veggie

    Not keen on buying Green Curry paste. green curry paste is easy to make- takes 5 min. And you can freeze for later to speed things up. 2 lemon grass stalks 1 Garlic clove 3-4 green chilli juice 1 lime 1/4 - 1/2 inch ginger or gangal tbs cumin tbs corriander ground 25g pack corriander tsp salt Just blend it together with a food processor until smooth. This make enough for 2 servings for 2 people half the mixture and freeze the rest. Makes this meal super good!!

    I'm so excited because I finally managed to make Thai curry (my favourite), this recipe is very tasty and super easy. I put lots of coriander because I love it, and just one and a half tbsp of green curry paste, because I like it mild ... tasted great !
