Ingredients

1 (160g) onion
250g ripe cherry tomatoes
1 x 50g sachet of creamed coconut
1 x 400g tin of chickpeas
1 bunch (30g) of coriander
2 tbsp of your favourite curry paste
250g frozen mango
165g raw peeled king prawns
1 x 250g packet of cooked wholegrain basmati rice
30g Bombay mix

Method

Put a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat. Peel and very finely slice the onion and place in the pan to dry fry with the tomatoes, tossing regularly for 4 minutes, while you put the coconut cream in a blender with half the chickpeas and all their juice, half the coriander leaves and all the stalks, and a splash of water. Tip in half the onions and tomatoes from the pan and blitz until smooth to make a sauce.

Stir the curry paste and ½ a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan, followed a minute later by the frozen mango and remaining chickpeas, then the sauce. Toss over a medium heat for 2 minutes, then add the prawns and let it bubble away until the prawns are just cooked, loosening with splashes of water, if needed. Season to perfection.

Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, then divide between plates. Chop and stir most of the remaining coriander leaves into the curry, spoon it on top of the rice, then scatter over the last few coriander leaves. Crush and crumble over the Bombay mix for added crunch, to finish.
