Thai Prawn Potato Vegetable Curry Food

THAI PRAWN, POTATO & VEGETABLE CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok. Fry the curry paste and lemongrass for 1 min, until fragrant. Tip in peppers and new potatoes, then stir them to coat in the paste. Cook for 1-2 mins. Pour in coconut milk, stock and lime leaves, then bring to the boil. Simmer and cook for 15 mins, until potatoes are just tender.
• Add remaining ingredients, but if you're freezing don't add spinach or coriander yet, and cook until the prawns turn pink, about 4 mins. Serve, with some extra lime wedges, if you like, or cool before freezing in containers.

THAI PRAWN & SQUASH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil a large frying pan or wok. Tip in the coconut and cook for 3 mins or until starting to toast, then add the curry paste and fry, stirring constantly, until fragrant and sizzling. Add 100ml water and bring to the boil - the water will evaporate and the paste will split. Add the sugar and reduce the heat (the colour will darken).
• With the mixture at a simmer, add the fish sauce, lime leaves, lemongrass and squash. Cook for 1 min, stirring to coat the squash in the paste, then add the coconut milk and 200ml more water and bring back to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 mins until the squash is cooked.
• Turn up the heat again, drop in the prawns and stir well. As soon as the pan returns to the boil, reduce to a low heat and cook for a few mins until the prawns are pink and cooked through. The curry should now be sweet and creamy. To serve, top with the coriander leaves and beansprouts.

Pour in the coconut milk and 200ml water, simmer the sauce for 20 mins, then blitz in a blender or with a hand blender until smooth.
• Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and bring up to a simmer. Stir in the cauliflower and potato, cover and simmer for 15 mins. Add the prawns and poach for 2 mins, or until they turn pink.
