Jamie Oliver’s Easy Prawn Curry

Jamie Oliver’s flavour-packed prawn curry takes just 10 minutes to prepare with no compromise on taste – think juicy prawns, chickpea and mango in a creamy coconut curry sauce, all finished with a crunchy Bombay mix topping.

Serves 2

Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (160g) onion
  • 250g ripe cherry tomatoes
  • 1 x 50g sachet of creamed coconut
  • 1 x 400g tin of chickpeas
  • 1 bunch (30g) of coriander
  • 2 tbsp of your favourite curry paste
  • 250g frozen mango
  • 165g raw peeled king prawns
  • 1 x 250g packet of cooked wholegrain basmati rice
  • 30g Bombay mix

 

Method

  1. Put a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat. Peel and very finely slice the onion and place in the pan to dry fry with the tomatoes, tossing regularly for 4 minutes, while you put the coconut cream in a blender with half the chickpeas and all their juice, half the coriander leaves and all the stalks, and a splash of water. Tip in half the onions and tomatoes from the pan and blitz until smooth to make a sauce.
  2. Stir the curry paste and ½ a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan, followed a minute later by the frozen mango and remaining chickpeas, then the sauce. Toss over a medium heat for 2 minutes, then add the prawns and let it bubble away until the prawns are just cooked, loosening with splashes of water, if needed. Season to perfection.
  3. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, then divide between plates. Chop and stir most of the remaining coriander leaves into the curry, spoon it on top of the rice, then scatter over the last few coriander leaves. Crush and crumble over the Bombay mix for added crunch, to finish.
