Ingredients

  • Yogurt: minty yogurt or chutney, to serve (optional)
  • Coriander: small bunch coriander, stalks and leaves separated, chopped
  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • Onion: 2 medium onions, chopped
  • Chopped Tomato: 400g can chopped tomato
  • Chilli Flakes: 1/4 tsp chilli flakes (or less if you don't like it too spicy)
  • Ground Cumin: 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Brown Rice: 250g pouch cooked brown rice
  • Rapeseed Oil: 2 tsp rapeseed oil
  • Ginger: thumb-sized piece ginger, finely chopped
  • Green Pepper: 1 large green pepper, halved, deseeded and chopped
  • Ground Coriander: 1 tsp ground coriander
  • Clear Honey: squeeze of clear honey
  • Ground Turmeric: 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • Tiger Prawn: 140g large cooked peeled tiger prawns

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the onions, ginger and garlic for 8-10 mins, stirring frequently, until softened and starting to colour. Add the spices and chilli flakes, stir briefly, then pour in the tomatoes with half a can of water and the honey. Blitz everything in the pan with a hand blender until almost smooth (or use a food processor). Stir in the pepper and coriander stalks, cover the pan and leave to simmer for 10 mins. (The mixture will be very thick and splutter a little, so stir frequently.)
  2. Stir in the prawns and scatter over the coriander leaves. Heat the rice following pack instructions. Serve both with a minty yogurt or chutney, if you like.
