Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 25 mins

Servings: 2

Ingredients

200g raw king prawns (OK to use frozen raw prawns), try to get prawns sourced from UK waters
150g small new potatoes (quarter or halve if larger)
1 red pepper in thin strips
1 x 400g tin of full fat coconut milk
1-2 tbsp Bart or Blue Elephant massaman curry paste (can be found in the spice aisle of most supermarkets), or use thai red curry paste
1 cinnamon stick
2 squashed cardamom pods
1 tsp brown sugar (shock horror!)
2 limes (one juiced and one cut into quarters for serving)
1 tbsp fish sauce
red chilli, sliced to serve
shredded coriander or basil, to serve
1 tbsp toasted and chopped peanuts (optional)
feel free to pimp up the nutrients by adding some spinach and mangetout!

Instructions

Gently cook the massaman curry paste with the thick part of the coconut milk for a few minutes to release all the flavours.

Add the remainder of the coconut milk and simmer for a minute or so.

Add the potatoes, peppers, cinnamon and cardamon and simmer gently for 15 – 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Add the prawns, fish sauce, sugar and juice of the lime and cook for 3 – 4 minutes until the prawns are just cooked and a nice pink colour.

Serve with the sprinkled peanuts (optional), chilli and basil/coriander.
