Ingredients

  • 2 tsp rapeseed oil

  • 2 medium onions, chopped

  • thumb-sized piece ginger, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 1 tsp ground coriander

  • ½ tsp ground turmeric

  • ½ tsp ground cumin

  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes (or less if you don't like it too spicy)

  • 400g can chopped tomatoes

  • squeeze of clear honey

  • 1 large green pepper, halved, deseeded and chopped

  • small bunch coriander, stalks and leaves separated, chopped

  • 140g large cooked peeled tiger prawns

  • 250g pouch cooked brown rice

  • minty yogurt or chutney, to serve (optional)

Method

  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.
