1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Tip in the onion and ginger, then cook for a few mins until softened. Stir in the curry paste, then cook for 1 min more. Pour over the chopped tomatoes and coconut cream. Bring to the boil, then leave to simmer for 5 mins, adding a little boiling water if the mixture gets too thick.
2. Tip in the prawns, then cook for 5-10 mins more, depending on how large they are. Serve alongside some plain rice and sprinkle with a little chopped coriander, if you like.

  This was my first attempt at making a Thai Curry and the end result was great. I didn't have a sachet of coconut cream but used some tinned coconut milk instead and it worked fine. I used the 400g of chopped tomatoes but would reduce this next time as I had to add more curry paste to overcome the strong tomato flavour. A very quick and easy dish which I will make again.

  Made this on Friday night and it was great. It was my first attempt at cooking a Thai curry (okay, I guess its cheating a little as it uses a paste) but we loved it. Definately one that I'll cook again.

  Delicious. I added some mixed veg and less prawns to make it cheaper and a lot more curry paste. That just wasn't enough :o)

  This was really lovely. I added some fresh tomatoes and spinach to bulk it up.

  So simple to make and very tasty. I added mushrooms to it, would maybe add some peppers too next time.

  I adapted the recipe slightly and added 1 red pepper and some mushrooms. I also added 1tsp fish sauce, 1tsp sugar, 1tsp salt, 3 kaffir lime leaves and the juice of one lime. I think it made it taste more authenic. I also used 3tsp of paste for more bite. Yum!

  Delicious and easy. Have made this recipe twice and it is a hit with my family. The second time I made it I added a glove of garlic with the onions and ginger (next time I will add 2) I also added a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt

  We loved this! I added a lot more curry paste and a garlic clove but found the sauce works great with chicken too. Frantic Flapjack - Did you use tinned or fresh spinach?

  This has been on our menu several times since we first tried it. It's really easy and tastes divine. I added red pepper and fine beans so that it was a one pot meal.
