Massaman Prawn Curry
Introduction from Graeme Tomlinson
By reducing the 70g butter usually used to pan-fry the fish to 15g and swapping the coconut milk for a light version, you can save 171 calories per portion and still enjoy the gently spiced massaman flavours.
Ingredients
Essential kit
You will need: a food processor
Method
1. Add all the ingredients for the massaman sauce to a blender or food processor and blitz into a paste.
2. Put a large saucepan over a medium heat and melt the butter. Add the prawns and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spatula.
3. Reduce the heat and add the massaman sauce. Cook gently for 2–3 minutes.
4. Add the coconut milk, flour, vegetable stock cube, salt and water and stir thoroughly, then cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Remove the lid and add the potatoes to the prawns, mixing in thoroughly. Place the lid back on and simmer for a further 20 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
6. When the curry is nearly cooked, microwave the cooked basmati rice on full power for 1. minutes or cook according to the packet instructions.
7. Add the lemon juice and coriander to the curry and give it one final mix, then serve alongside the basmati rice.
