CURRY WITH PRAWNS VERY EASY
When the heat stops being the protagonist, spoon dishes, soups, broths and my beloved curry come to mind. In this post I want to show you how to make a curry with prawns very easy.
I like mild curry, that does not mean that I do not like spicy, what I do not like is that the protagonism of the dish is just that, I love noticing flavors and being able to appreciate each of the ingredients.
For this reason, I love to prepare curry with coconut milk, which I usually mix with a fish stock or with a poultry or vegetable broth, depending on the other ingredients.
In this recipe I have used a homemade vegetable broth, very light, and I have given it the creamy texture with the coconut milk, the prawns do very well.
To make this curry with prawns, use a prepared mixture of spices and add coconut milk.
As for the curry, I have used a mixture of spices already prepared, you can find many in the market, buy a quality one and thus ensure a good flavor.
A curry powder should always contain turmeric, pepper, chilli, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, etc. The curry powder that I use has more spices, and the flavor and aroma is spectacular.
As I started by saying, it is a very easy curry, the idea is to prepare it in a short time, if you have vegetables, broth, coconut milk and prawns, you only need the mixture of spices and get to work.
If you change the prawns for chicken, you get an equally rich chicken curry, you could also do it with lamb, that easy.
It will take about 20 minutes to prepare it and the result is a delight, a tasty and comforting dish, one of those that are etched in your memory and make you want to repeat in a short time.
The preparation is very simple, fry the vegetables, add the mixture of spices, the broth, the coconut milk and finally the fresh prawns or prawns.
If you do it with chicken or lamb meat, the first step would be to mark the meat, remove it and follow the previous steps, adding it again at the last moment.
This curry is a quick and comforting stew, perfect for the whole family.
Do not think that this dish is only for adults, I already tell you that it is not, I have emphasized from the beginning that the result of this recipe is a curry with soft prawns, it bites depending on the amount of curry you put in it, in addition to the milk coconut gives it a very pleasant softness.
For that reason it is a suitable recipe for the whole family, prepare it with your favorite ingredients, as for vegetables I usually put chives, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli or cauliflower.
The ingredient that gives it a special flavor and texture is undoubtedly coconut milk. Do you like coconut milk? Do you use it regularly?
I love coconut milk, especially to make stews and sauces, but I also add it to some desserts.
I do not know if it can be said that I use it regularly because it is not a product that I buy every week.
Coconut milk is on my shopping list only when I plan to cook with it, but the reality is that I really like it, and it offers many possibilities.
