Prawn Curry with Coconut Rice
Prawn Curry with Coconut Rice | The Mother Cooker
I have become so confident with making curries now. Once you figure out how to make a base for one, it's really quite easy to build on. This prawn curry is delicious, we have eaten it twice in one week. It's so simple to make too, just use a blender to save on the chopping. Then from start to finish is just twenty minutes. Great for an evening meal when you don't want to put in a lot of effort.
Prawns are in season now and are at their best, but we always have frozen ones in. Being pescatarian, I usually eat prawns or salmon most. I was a bit fed up of eating them in stir fry, so I created this curry. It's a touch on the spicy side, but you can solve that by removing the seeds from your chillies. Infusing the rice with shredded coconut adds an extra level of flavour too. Speaking of rice, ever since learning how easy it is to cook in my Instant Pot, I haven't looked back. Life changing.
