Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium frying pan, a medium bowl & a measuring jug

Simmer the prawns

  • Thinly slice half the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Drain the prawns
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion and cook for 4 mins, until softening. Add the prawns and tomatoes and cook for 2 mins, thens stir in Malabar curry sauce, creamed coconut and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person). Lower the heat and simmer for 7 mins, until the prawns are pink and cooked through. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry

Make the peanut cucumber salad

  • Meanwhile, dice the cucumber into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop the coriander. Finely dice the remaining onion. Roughly chop the peanuts
  • Add all to the medium bowl, along with the juice from the lemon and 1 tsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper

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. Season with salt

Plate up

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