Ingredients

  1. 1/2 tsp ground fenugreek
  2. 1 tsp ground turmeric
  3. 1 tsp garam masala
  4. 1 tbsp tamarind purée
  5. 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  6. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  7. 1 tbsp tomato paste
  8. 100 ml olive oil
  9. Salt, to taste
  10. 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  11. 300 g prawns, peeled and deveined
  12. 200 g Greek yoghurt
  13. 1 small cucumber, finely diced
  14. Juice of 1/2 lemon
  15. A handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
  16. A handful of fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  17. Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Method

  1. Combine the fenugreek, turmeric, garam masala, tamarind puree, cayenne pepper, garlic, tomato paste, and 100ml of olive oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Add the prawns and mix well to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to marinate.
  2. Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes. Thread the prawns onto the skewers. Preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high heat. Add the skewered prawns and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the yoghurt with 1/4 cup (60ml) of lemon juice in a small bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl, combine the qukes, onion, and mint, tossing gently to mix. Serve the prawns with the cucumber salad and yoghurt dressing on the side.

Turmeric, garam masala, fenugreek, and tamarind create deep aromatic flavour while giving the prawns a rich golden colour and gentle heat. Pairing the warm spiced seafood with cool yoghurt, crisp cucumber, and fresh herbs keeps the dish balanced, refreshing, and perfect for relaxed summer-style dining.
