Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 30-35 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Thinly slice the onion. Heat a large saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Meanwhile, finely chop or crush the garlic. Dice the potato into 1cm cubes. Add the garlic, massaman paste, cinnamon, turmeric and potato to the pan. Cook for another 2-3 mins, until fragrant.
- Add 200ml water (100ml for 1 person) to the pan and crumble in half the stock cube. Boil for 5 mins, until reduced by one-third. Add half the coconut milk and simmer for 10 mins, until the potato is almost cooked and the sauce has thickened.
- Trim the green beans and slice into 2cm pieces. Dice the courgette into 2cm cubes. Add both to the curry along with the prawns and simmer for 3-4 mins, until the prawns are pale pink and cooked through. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Roughly chop the peanuts. Serve the rice alongside the curry and garnish with peanuts.
