Instructions: Mix together the prawns, ginger, 5ml (1tsp) garlic and curry paste. Leave to marinate for no more than 10 minutes.

Fry the remaining garlic in the oil for 1-2 seconds until light brown. Add the prawn mixture and fry for 2-3 minutes or until the prawns just turn pink.

Stir in the creamed coconut, water, tomatoes and coriander. Bring to the boil, simmer for 2 minutes. Season to taste.

Serve with Green Label Mango Chutney and Basmati rice seasoned with saffron and a knob of butter. Make a salad of chopped cucumber, spring onions and tomato mixed with coriander leaves, lemon juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
