How To Make Prawn Curry

Guys this Prawn Curry Recipe is extremely easy to whip up, just like my egg curry. If you can line up your ingredients then you can make this curry. Especially quick since you replace regular onions with spring onions (scallions) which are much quicker to cook. All the flavour with none of the work.

Step 1. Heat the oil and fry the peppers.

Step 2. Then add the spring onions, Thai curry paste, coriander and chilli and stir fry until fragrant.

Step 3. Add the coconut milk and chicken stock and simmer for a few mins.

Step 4. Add in the prawns and chickpeas and simmer.

Step 5. Stir in the spinach and fish sauce and serve.
