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.

    Really enjoyed making and eating this. Very quick and easy to make. I varied this slightly by making the sauce first, then in a separate pan I fried some prawns and veg and mixed it into the sauce. Will be making this again

    I followed this recipe pretty much exactly (though maybe a touch extra curry paste) and enjoyed the results. I didn't find it watery at all and didn't feel the need to add anything extra, it was nice just served with rice. Also, to clarify for those unsure, I added the prawns straight from frozen and they cooked nicely (and I am still here to tell the tale so fear not!)

    Really tasty and easy, I halfed everything to make for two people (still used 2 tsp of curry paste though so had a nice kick) and worked brilliantly. Would definitely make again!

    Lovely, I always add lime juice though as I find that this adds bite.

    I love this recipe! It's so easy to make so perfect for mid-week dinners. I usually add half a chopped red chilli to give it a bit more bite.

    Very authentic. I followed the recipe but amended it slightly by using 150ml of coconut milk (reduced fat), 3/4 of a tin of chopped toms, 2 cloves of crushed garlic, 3 kaffir lime leaves, juice of one lime, 3 1/2 tsp of red thai paste for some kick and added mushroom, sliced red peppers and stirred through some fresh spinach at the end. End result was fab and demolished by two but i think it would definitely struggle to serve 4, even with plain rice to soak up the gorgeous flavours!

    I didn't have tinned tomatoes or creamed coconut so instead I used a can of reduced fat coconut milk and a good dollop of tomato puree which helped to thicken the sauce nicely. Very tasty result!

    This was great and dead simple to make: works with chicken too. I used 3/4 can tomatoes and added green beans, chopped red pepper and a tablespoon of Thai Fish Sauce.

    I used 3/4 a can of tomatoes and 1/2 a can of coconut milk but i'd still say a bit watery really and i think there is too much onion for my liking but it's very tasty really!!

    Tasty enought but not at all Thai. I doubled the amount of curry paste recommended by the recipe and the tomatoes still overpowered everything. Still I'd probably make this again as a healthy mid-week meal.
