Method

  1. Shell and de-vein the prawns. Peel and finely chop the onion, garlic and ginger. Crush the cardamom pods.
  2. Place the prawns into a non metallic bowl and add the lemon juice then leave to marinate while you make the sauce.
  3. Heat a heavy-based pan with two teaspoons of the oil and then add the onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened but not coloured, then add the turmeric, cardamom pods and chilli powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Stir the remaining oil into the pan with the cinnamon, garlic and ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic and ginger have softened.
  5. Blend the coriander with the coconut cream in a mini food processor.
  6. Stir into the pan with the onion and spice mixture, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the marinated prawns and season with salt. Continue to simmer for 1-2 minutes until the prawns are just cooked through and tender, stirring constantly.

Serve with rice or chapattis.
