Method

  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.

    Made this with chicken as not a huge prawn fan, was absolutely delicious, served with thin noodles. So quick and easy! The other half has been singing its praises.

    I'd agree with some of the contents above - use less tomatoes (3/4 or 1/2 a tin) as it was too watery. I also added a lot more coconut cream and curry paste as it tasted too tomatoey and weak. Was simple and yummy though and I reckon adding lime and garlic and even a red/orange pepper would improve it :)

    Would recommend. Very easy to do. Would suggest having more a more liquid texture at the end to have enough sauce to mix the rice with (compared to the picture) - easily done by adding sufficient quantities of cocunt milk.

    I made this for our dinner tonight and we loved it. Will certainly make again. I added mushroom, garlic, red pepper and a teaspoon of salt and sugar. Best curry I've had in ages!

    Made this last night and absolutely loved it! I did mean to follow the suggestions above and add salt, sugar etc but I forgot and only put in garlic, it was still lovely. Will definitely make again as was so simple and my partner loved it. You can add any veg/extra seasoning etc to your taste, but this is a great base recipe.

    Very easy and really tasty. Added full can of tomatoes and was still nice & saucy without being watery. Also added red pepper, splash of fish sauce and lots of ginger. Recommended - will be making again.

    I read the comments before making this recipe, so doubled the curry paste and glad I did. This was a really tasty, filling curry which I'll be making again.

    Good but I followed the advice above and didn't use all the tomato called for, which I think was a good idea. Instead, I skinned some slightly old baby plum tomatoes and "mushed" them up a bit in the cooking. Also, I didn't have any fresh ginger so added dried, ground ginger instead. I think fresh would have been significantly better.

    Brilliant! I also added a bit of Brown Mustard seeds to it. I also added some 'alphabet' pasta in it as the prawns weren't that many.. I suppose you could add rice instead of pasta.

    I did this after a long day at work in London. Grabbed the ingredients, got home, shoved it all together and it was absolutely delicious! I experiment all the time but my daughter said this is one of her favourites! Really flavoursome, filling and satisfying. A real favourite.
