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.

    My first attempt at doing a curry, it was very easy and everyone thought it was something special, BUT, I did read the comments made by people and I used coconut milk not the cream about 1/4 tin and I used 3 tsp of curry paste left a little kick but if you like hot currys add more.

    I'm not a big fan of prawns, but do eat from time to time. I've got to say the Thai curry was delicious. It was easy and quick to make - a real winner!

    Used ground ginger, and like lots of others 3/4 tin of tomatoes. I used 3 tsp of the paste, which gave it a nice zing. Another winner in Mac's kitchen! Recommended

    It's nice, but you have to remember to add a little bit of salt.

    No stars! I can only imagine all these rave reviews were comparing this to their usual English diet of jacket potatoes or fishfingers. This is an utterly bland curry that I wouldn't serve up to a pig.

    I made this last night and it was great! Made a few additions though... I added garlic, chopped peppers, seasoning, boiling water and fish sauce. I also like others used 3 tsp of the curry paste and 3/4 tomato. Will definitely make again!

    This was good, especially as it was so quick but felt it was lacking something, I think when I cook it again (and I probably will) I will add some vegetables as well. Spinach sounds good and maybe beans and other stirfry ingredients. I also used coconut milk not cream as that was what I had, it was very watery but then I think Thai curries are always a lot thinner than indian ones.

    I cooked this for a friend on Thursday night and my husband went out for dinner so I was pleased to be able to cook a fish dish (he doesn't like fish). My friend and I really enjoyed it served with Thai fragrant rice from sainsburys. First time I'd used coconut cream, I used blue dragon 200g block which I just cut a quarter off. Used a whole tin of toms which I'd say it needed. Maybe when people use coconut milk instead of cream a whole tin is too much. To mayor flavour did dominate the dish though. I added more paste as others suggested and agree it needed it. I so added frozen peas. Will cook again, probably with chicken instead of prawns for my hubby!

    Do you need to do anything to the prawns before you put them in like fry them? I'm a bit nervous about using prawns as I haven't before...

    I have made this recipe many times before and it has always been a hit. However one of the guests I am making it for on Saturday is a vegetarian so I need to swap the prawns for something, I was thinking butternut squash? Any suggestions welcome
