Ingredients
250g small frozen cooked peeled prawns
150g basmati rice
Eight spring onions
Two heaped tablespoons korma curry paste
One 400ml tin of light coconut milk
Method
Start by placing the prawns in a bowl of cold water to allow them to begin thawing.
In the meantime, heat a large shallow casserole pan over high heat and dry fry the rice for about three minutes, stirring frequently, while you trim and thinly slice the spring onions.
Next, add one tablespoon of olive oil, along with the spring onions and korma paste, to the pan.
Stir this mixture for two minutes before pouring in the coconut milk and two and a half cans of water. Bring it to a boil and let it cook for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. With six minutes remaining, drain the prawns, chop them finely, and add them to the soup.
Once the rice is fully cooked and the soup has reached your preferred consistency, taste it and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and black pepper to perfection. Serve and enjoy!
