Ingredients for 4 people
Peeled king prawns| 400g/14Oz
Peeled, cored and diced Modì apple | 1 or 2 apples according to taste
Fresh ginger | 1 piece of around 2 cm/just under an inch
Curry powder | 3-4 teaspoons, or more according to taste
Coconut milk | 4 tablespoons
Lime juice qs
Extra virgin olive oil qs
Fresh coriander and green chilli qs to garnish
Basmati rice qs, boiled or steamed
Preparation
Place the king prawns in a casserole dish, spray them with a little lime juice and let them marinate for around 15 minutes.
In the meantime, peel the ginger root and grate it finely.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan, add the curry powder and ginger and heat them until golden brown, leave the mixture to flavour for around one minute. Add the apple, stir and simmer for a few minutes until it softens (if necessary add one or two tablespoons of water).
Once the apple is soft, add the king prawns and coconut milk (if you want a more intense taste and a creamier sauce, use more), stir and leave to cook for 3-4 minutes until the prawns change in colour. Add salt to taste.
Decorate with chopped coriander and sliced chilly. Accompany with basmati rice.
#note
Curry powder blends vary according to the manufacturer: you can also make your own at home by mixing, according to taste, dried coriander, curcuma powder, fenugreek, caraway, cumin, black pepper, chilly, ginger and so on.
