Prawn Curry

I'm told this tastes like an old fashioned birds-eye packet prawn curry. I'm also told this is a compliment.


1 pack king / tiger / etc / prawns
2 medium onions
1 tin tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic
4 chillies (or less, if you're not into quite so many chillies)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garam marsala
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp tamarind concentrate (or the real stuff if you can get it)
2 tsp sugar
1 sachet creamed coconut
oil for frying


Fry up the onions slowly until translucent. Crush the garlic and add along with the chillies. Add the spices except the tamarind & sugar. Fry for another minute.
Add the tamarind, and stir in the tomatoes. Add the sugar to taste. Grate in the creamed coconut.
Cook for about 10 mins.
Add the prawns and cook for a little while (or until pink if using fresh).

Serve with Rice.

Serves 2.
