Ingredients

4 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tsp black mustard seeds
500g vine-ripened tomatoes, skinned, deseeded and chopped
500g raw tiger prawns, peeled
100ml coconut cream
4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
For the curry paste
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 green chillies, deseeded and chopped
2.5cm fresh ginger, chopped
4 tsp paprika
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon juice

Method: How to make tiger prawn curry

1. Make the curry paste. Put the ingredients into a food processor with 1 tablespoon of water and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the mustard seeds and cover the pan with a lid. As soon as they begin to pop, uncover and add the prepared curry paste. Fry for 4-5 minutes until it seems to be splitting from the oil, then add 250ml hot water and simmer for a further 3 minutes.

3. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until they have broken down in the sauce. Add the prawns and coconut cream and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, until

the prawns are just firm and pink. Season to taste. Stir in the coriander and serve immediately with naan bread or pooris.

Wine note

pick a juicy, fruity white, such as an Aussie Semillon-Chardonnay, or go for a Belgian wheat beer.
