Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle
Heat a pot with a matching lid with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a large knob of butter over a medium heat
Once hot, add the groundcinnamon and basmati rice with a pinch of salt and stir for 1 min or until the rice is coated in oil and spice
2
Add 350ml [750ml] cold water to the rice and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Meanwhile, place the coconut cream sachet[s]in a mug and cover with boiled water (this softens the naturally hard cream) and set aside
3
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the onion with a big pinch of salt and sugar and cook for 3-5 min or until softened and glossy
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
4
Once softened, reduce the onion to medium-low, add the garlic and curry powder and cook for a further 5 min or until they're caramelised
Meanwhile, drain the king prawns and pat them dry with kitchen paper
Combine the softened coconut cream and 150ml [250ml]boiled water - this is your coconut stock
5
Add the king prawns to the caramelised onions, increase the heat to medium and cook for 1 min or until the prawns are pink and opaque
6
Add the coconut stock and fish sauce and cook for 3-4 min or until reduced to a curry-like consistency
Meanwhile, finely chop the coriander, including the stalks
7
Halve the lime[s]
Remove the curry from the heat and stir in the juice of half the [whole] lime and half the coriander (save the rest for garnish)
