How To Make Prawn Moilee

Step 1 - Using a medium sized pan, heat the coconut oil over a medium temperature and fry the mustard and fenugreek seeds until they pop, then add the onion, garlic, ginger, chillies and curry leaves, cook for 3-4 minutes until the ingredients have softened. Now tip in the turmeric powder and mix well for a minute until the ingredients are coloured by the turmeric.

Step 2 - Pour in the coconut milk and season with a dash of salt, simmer for 2-3 minutes until the ingredients have formed a thin soup.

Step 3 - Add the prawns and cook for 4 minutes until the flesh has turned pink and cooked through. Finish with the juice of half a lime and dress with a couple of tomato slices.

Serve with flatbread or fluffy basmati rice.
