    I can’t begin to tell you how much I love Prawns. Not only are they delicious and juicy when cooked right but they also take on flavour so beautifully which makes them perfect for a curry.

    how to make prawn curry recipe

    Heat oil and add Onions. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes till golden brown.

    Onions in oil in pot

    Add Ginger, Garlic and Green Chilli and cook for 1 - 2 minutes.

    how to serve

    This prawn recipe is delicious served as a main or side with any Curry, Biryani, Rice, Roti or Paratha.

    For sides:

    Kachumber Salad

    Onion Raita

    storage

    Fridge - Prawn recipes are best eaten fresh. At a push, they can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two. 

    Reheating Prawns - If you need to reheat leftovers. you can add a splash of water to a pan and reheat them slowly until warmed through. You can reheat them in the microwave too.

    Freezer - I would not recommend freezing cooked prawns. 

    tips and hints for Prawn Curry Recipe

    • Prawns require very little cooking. Over cooking makes them rubbery and tough. 
    • A squeeze of Lemon Juice before serving helps to bring the flavours together.
