This was a real treat! This is a very impressive, but also easy dish to create. It's very fragrant and the spices are not overpowering at all. The main ingredient is prawns, but you could do a selection of seafood if you prefer not to only have prawns. The sauce would go beautifully with chicken too.
Ingredients for 4 servings:
1 large onion
coconut oil for frying
1 tin of chopped peeled tomatoes
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground coriander powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 to 1 tsp chopped green chillis (to taste)
a generous pinch of salt
100ml water
300g of shelled prawns or other shellfish
1 tin of coconut milk or cream (depending on how thick you want the sauce)
1 tsp garam masala
Fry the chopped onion in about a tablespoon of coconut oil on a medium heat until the onion is soft and transparent. This takes about 10 minutes.
When the onion is cooked, add a tin of chopped tomatoes and fry together for about 2 minutes.
Next, add the cumin, turmeric, ginger, paprika, coriander, chilli and salt. Fry for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes are very soft. Add the water and cook for another 2 minutes.
Then add the prawns and fry them together with the tomato masala for about 5 minutes on a medium heat.
Then add the coconut cream or milk (I used coconut cream). Stir it in and let it all come to a boil. Then turn down the heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes with a lid on.
Lastly, add the garam masala powder and stir through.
Serve warm with the rice or "rice" of your choice.
