Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out 2 large frying pans

Time to fry

  • Cut the peppers into 2cm chunks. Drain the prawns
  • Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and whole tomatoes and cook for 3 mins, until softening. Season with salt and pepper

Simmer the curry

  • Add the malabar curry sauce to the pan, along with the coconut milk. Bring to the boil, then add the prawns
  • Simmer for 7 mins, until the prawns are pink and cooked through

Make the cumin rice

  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the mangetout into small pieces
  • Heat the other large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mangetout and cumin seeds. Cook for 2-3 mins, until softening. Add the rice with a splash of water, breaking it up with a wooden spoon
  • Season with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot

Plate up

  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
  • Season the malabar curry to taste, then share between bowls, with the cumin rice alongside. Garnish with the coconut chips
