Instructions: Dissolve the tamarind in the water. Strain and set aside.

Heat the oil in a wok. Add the ground spice paste and the lemongrass. Stir-fry on high heat until it smells fragrant. Lower the heat and add the prawns and a little of the tamarind water. Stir-fry for a minute.

Raise the heat and add the rest of the tamarind water, the sugar and the salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove and serve.
