Ingredients List
200 g prawns, peeled and deveined
200 g kingfish, cut into bite-sized pieces
200 ml coconut cream
2 tablespoons choo-chee curry paste (or red curry
paste if unavailable)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon palm sugar (or brown sugar)
80 ml water
1 kaffir lime leaf, finely shredded (optional, for garnish)
Fresh Thai basil leaves, to serve
Steamed jasmine rice, to serve
Steps
Place the coconut cream in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 minutes until it begins to release its oils. Add the curry paste and continue to stir occasionally for another 3 minutes. Mix in fish sauce, palm sugar, and 80ml (1/3 cup) water, then let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the prawns and kingfish pieces, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes or until the seafood is just about cooked through.
Gently stir in the Thai basil or coriander. Divide the curry into bowls and top with shredded makrut lime leaves. Serve with steamed jasmine rice and fresh vegetables like cucumber, cabbage leaves, and snake beans on the side.
