Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas 8 / air fryer 180C
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a sieve & a medium frying pan

Get the rice on

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins until cooked, then drain

Cook the broccoli

  • Trim the broccoli, then place on a lined baking tray
  • Toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and season with salt
  • Roast for 10-15 mins / air fryer 5-6 mins, until soft and charred

Soften the onion

  • Thinly slice the onion
  • Heat a medium frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the onion and cook for 5-7 mins until softened
  • Meanwhile, finely chop or crush the garlic. Halve the tomatoes

Get your simmer on

  • Add the garlic, tomatoes, tomato puree and spice mix to the pan
  • Cook for 3-4 mins, stirring constantly, until softened
  • Add the coconut milk and add the stock. Stir to dissolve
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 mins, until the curry sauce thickens slightly

Last bits & plate up

  • Trim the green beans, cut into thirds, then add to the curry sauce
  • Add the prawns and simmer for 9 mins, until the prawns are pink and cooked through
  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot.
  • Season the curry with salt and pepper, adding a splash of water for a looser sauce, if desired
  • Spoon the rice into bowls, then serve with the prawn curry and roasted broccoli on top
