This dead easy Keralan prawn curry is packed with flavour and ready in minutes – you'll find yourself making it again and again. It's such a versatile dish for a quick weeknight meal or a weekend feast, and works equally well with pumpkin, chicken or fish if you want to switch it up

    Fine but not amazing! 1 minute isn’t enough for the tomatoes and chilli to cook. It was looking rather pale in colour too, so added much more turmeric!

    I’m inclined to agree about the tomatoes. The photo shows them looking oven-roasted. No way 1min would get that. Feels like there’s a step missing. Suffice it to say, I’m going to roast mine before adding them at Step 4
