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

  • Boil a half-full kettle
  • Pull out 2 large bowls, a large lidded griddle or frying pan, a medium frying pan, a lid & a measuring jug

Marinate the prawns

  • In a large bowl, mix together the chilli paste (add less if you prefer less heat) and the juice from half the lemon. Add the prawns and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper
  • In the measuring jug, dissolve the creamed coconut with 150ml boiling water

Cook the prawns

  • Heat the large griddle or frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the prawns and cook for 2 mins
  • Add the Goan sauce and the coconut mixture. Cover with a lid and simmer for 6 mins, until the prawns are pink and cooked through. Add a splash more water if it gets too thick

Heat the rice

  • Heat the medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and the turmeric and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot

Make the peanut kachumber salad

  • Meanwhile, finely dice the cucumber, onion and tomatoes. Finely chop the coriander. Crush the peanuts
  • Add the prepped veg to the other large bowl, along with the peanuts, coriander and the juice of the remaining lemon. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
  • Serve the prawn Goan curry into bowls, with the rice and kachumber salad alongside
