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.

    Excellent recipe, full of flavour and definitely very easy. I tested a mixture of everybodys suggestions and used low fat coconut milk, 1 red pepper and some mushrooms, half the amount of prawns, 2 cloves of garlic, drop of fish sauce and juice of half a lime. This made enough for two large portions served with Thai style rice.

    This was such an easy recipe. I added chilli flakes, garlic and substituted the thai paste for a left over rogan josh paste that needed to be used up. Delicious!

    Made this on friday night-it was really quick and easy but it did need 2 tablespoons of red curry paste to give it a kick !

    Very good, but added more curry paste for a bit of bite! Would make it again, maybe with chicken instead of prawn though because that would be cheaper

    Do you actually add the prawns frozen or defrost them first?

    Really tasty and simple recipe. I userd a whole can of tomatoes, 1.5 tbsp of curry paste and added a chopped orange pepper and sliced fresh chilli, and served it with naan, basmati and mango chutney. Cheap meal, but still special enough to serve up for guests.

    So tasty and ever so easy and quick. I was a bit heavy handed with the paste but it was still delicious. Will definately make again.

    I cooked this for myself and my girlfriend and we both thought it was delicious. I upped the red paste (3tsps) and reduced the tomato as well as upping the amount of coconut milk. We will definately be having it again

    I've made this 4 times since Valentines. It's so simple and tastes fab! I make it with chicken as my hubby won't eat prawns and I add a little milk to thin it down rather than water as it makes it creamier.

    Loved this recipe - so tasty yet unbelievably healthy! I love coriander so that was a must. I also added a dash of lime juice to each plateful to give it a bit of extra tang - worked wonderfully. If you're wondering where to get coconut cream from, you can get a box of four sachets, Sharwoods brand, from Tesco's dry goods/world foods section for about 58p.

    i added baby corn / mangetout / red pepper and used a tin of reduced fat coconut milk rather than coconut cream. too watery (maybe because of the veg additions) but tastes great, easy, and so low kcal will make again. Next time will try with 3/4 can tomatoes like other comments suggest.
