Easy Thai Prawn Curry

Easy-peasy curry for folks new to cooking Thai style. Originally adapted from a recipe in Good Food Magazine. I served it with couscous as I didn't have enough rice in at the time - and it was fabulous. Not strictly speaking Thai - but who cares!

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan or wok. Tip in the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes or so until softened.
  2. Stir in the curry paste and ginger, and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Pour over the chopped tomatoes and add the coconut cream. Add a little water if necessary, to loosen the mixture.
  4. Bring to the boil, then leave to simmer for 20 mins or so. Add a little more water if the mixture gets too thick.
  5. Tip in the prawns and cook for 5-10 minutes more, depending on how large they are. Serve with plain rice or couscous and sprinkle with a little chopped Coriander, to serve.

    Very tasty. But where do you get 50g sachet cocnut cream? Is this block or liquid. Can't buy where I live had to use cocnut milk so maybe didn;t thicken as much.

    Asda and Sainsbury's are doing Coconut Cream in sachets now, I think its the Sharwoods one. If you can't get the sachets, just chop a lump from a block of coconut cream, or use Coconut milk and allow longer for the liquid to reduce.
