Ingredients

  1. 300 g prawns, peeled and deveined
  2. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  3. 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  4. 1 tsp ground turmeric
  5. 1 tsp chili powder
  6. 1 tsp ground coriander
  7. 2 tsp vegetable oil (plus extra for cooking)
  8. Salt and pepper, to taste
  9. 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
  10. 1 small onion, finely chopped
  11. 1 tomato, chopped
  12. 100 ml coconut milk or cream (optional, for a richer curry)
  13. Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
  14. Cooked basmati rice or naan, to serve

Method

  1. Place the prawns in a bowl with the garlic, ginger, turmeric, chilli powder, ground coriander, 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to coat, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  2. While the prawns are marinating, cook the basmati rice according to the packet instructions, if serving. Cover and keep warm.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the chopped tomato and cook for a further 5 minutes until the tomato has softened.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk or cream, if using, and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until the sauce is combined and slightly thickened.
  6. Return the prawns to the pan and cook gently for another 1–2 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve immediately with warm basmati rice or naan.

Chef's Tip

Indian-style prawn curry is all about layering aromatic spices with rich, comforting flavour while keeping the prawns tender and juicy. Garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, and chilli create a warm, fragrant base that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the seafood. Briefly cooking the prawns separately helps prevent overcooking, while the tomato and creamy sauce bring balance, depth, and richness to every bite.
