THAI GREEN CURRY PRAWNS



Thai Green Curry Prawns image

I lived above a Thai restaurant for a year in Sydney and they made the best green curry I've ever tasted. I was a regular customer and they even loaned me plates and bowls. I managed to persuade the chef to let me know how he made the curry. I've adapted it slightly to bring down the heat but it's still got a nice kick to it. Apparently the paste will keep in the fridge for up to 4 months! Serve immediately over fluffy jasmine rice.

Tips:

  • To make the prawn curry more flavorful, use a good quality curry powder. Look for one that is made with a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek.
  • If you don't have any curry powder on hand, you can make your own. Simply combine 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 tablespoon of ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground fenugreek.
  • Be sure to cook the prawns until they are just cooked through. Overcooked prawns will become tough and rubbery.
  • If you are using frozen prawns, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Serve the prawn curry with rice, naan, or your favorite bread.

Conclusion:

Prawn curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover prawns, and it can be made with a variety of different ingredients. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a party, prawn curry is sure to please everyone at the table.
