This prawn curry, with its creamy coconut sauce, is typical of the south-west Indian region and it features a home-made spice paste. Scatter over coriander leaves and serve with rice. Note • Tamarind paste and concentrate are from Asian food. Tender coconut prawns coated in grated coconut, baked till golden and crispy then served with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce made with fresh pineapple and roasted habanero. I am not a huge seafood person.
