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

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a sieve & a measuring jug

Cook the rice & prep the veg

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • Trim the green beans and cut into thirds. Finely slice the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Finely chop or crush the garlic
  • Rinse the kale leaves, then strip from the stalks and cut into bite-sized pieces

Get sizzling

  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and green beans and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper

Simmer the curry

  • Add the Keralan spice blend, tomato puree and garlic to the pan and cook for a further minute. Add the creamed coconut, stock and 200ml water (100ml for 1 person)
  • Drain the prawns. Add the prawns and tomatoes to the sauce and simmer on medium-high for 7 mins, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the prawns are pink and cooked through. Add the kale and simmer for 2-3 mins, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
  • Share the prawn curry between bowls, with the rice alongside
