Moni cooks up a spicy tradition treat for her Come Dine With Me South London guests

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh root ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and chopped
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 2 plump green chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
  • ½ tube tomato puree
  • 400g raw peeled king prawns
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method: How to make prawn curry

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the cumin seeds, ginger, garlic and onions for 5 minutes until the onion is softened, stirring regularly.

2. Stir in the tomatoes and chillies and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add the garam masala and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato puree and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly.

Moni's tip

Use pan-fried lamb, steamed chicken or griddled aubergine instead of the prawns if you'd prefer

3. While the sauce is simmering, heat the remaining oil in a small frying pan and fry the prawns over a medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Toss into the pan with the tomato sauce and bubble for a few seconds. Serve.
