Questions about Prawn curry
How do you stop prawns going rubbery in prawn curry?
Simmer the sauce first, then add raw prawns and cook just until they turn pink and opaque, usually 3–5 minutes. If using cooked prawns, stir them in at the end for only 1–2 minutes to heat through.
Can you make prawn curry with frozen prawns?
Yes. Thaw them in the fridge or in a sealed bag in cold water, then drain and pat dry before adding them; excess water can thin the sauce. Cook them as you would fresh raw prawns.
How do you stop coconut milk splitting in prawn curry?
Keep the curry at a gentle simmer rather than letting it boil hard, and stir the coconut milk in before adding the prawns. Full-fat coconut milk is less prone to splitting than a very light version.
How long does prawn curry keep in the fridge?
Cool it promptly, refrigerate in a covered container and eat within 2 days. Reheat it only once, until steaming hot throughout; take care not to keep cooking the prawns or they may toughen.
What goes well with prawn curry?
Serve it with basmati rice, naan or roti to soak up the sauce. A squeeze of lime and fresh coriander brighten a rich curry, while cucumber raita adds a cool contrast.
What is the difference between prawn madras and prawn bhuna curry?
Madras is usually a hot, tangy curry with a looser sauce. Bhuna is cooked down with its spices until the sauce is thicker and clings closely to the prawns.
Can you eat prawn curry if you have a shellfish allergy?
No: prawns are crustaceans, a type of shellfish, and their proteins can trigger an allergic reaction. Avoid the curry and foods that may have touched it if you have a prawn or crustacean allergy.
