Sorry, sometimes I can’t help myself.
For the record, I love Australia and Australians. This recipe does not contain any Australians or cliques. Please keep reading.
Seafood curry
I know that some people don’t like the idea of seafood in curry, but I think it is excellent. Prawns are the perfect option for a meaty curry. You often find prawns in Thai curries, but I think they work well here. I’ve experimented for this recipe with small prawns and big tiger prawns. Both work, so it doesn’t make a difference to the taste; it just makes the consistency of the curvy more or less chunky.
Another adaptation
This recipe is another example of me finding a recipe and swapping out ingredients. The original recipe was in one of those weekly women’s magazines full of trashy gossip and the odd recipe. I loved the base flavours so just swapped out the ingredients I didn’t like.
Cook once, eat twice.
Anyone who has been around for a while will know that I am a big fan of cooking once and eating twice (or more), meals that can be cooked in bulk and then put in the freezer for another day. This curry is one of those meals. If you are going to make this recipe, I recommend that you use at least a 5-litre stockpot. Whip up a batch, feed the family and then portion up the rest for another day. We usually get 3 family meals out of this recipe.
