Instructions

Cook rice

1 Cook rice

  • Rinse and drain the rice.
  • Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the measured water to a pot with a lid and bring to a boil over a high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat, and keep covered until serving.
Prep

2 Prep

  • Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the onions.
  • Peel and finely mince the garlic.
  • Finely chop the coriander (stems included).
  • Thinly slice the red chilli.
  • Peel and chop the carrots into thin rounds or half moons.
Tip! Sensitive to spice? Deseed the red chilli and use only a small amount.
Start stew

3 Start stew

  • Heat a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Add the onion with a pinch of salt and fry for 5 min until softened.
  • Add the carrot, garlic, red chilli (spicy!) and the coriander and fry for 1-2 min further until fragrant.
  • Add the turmeric, coriander cumin powder, and fenugreek and fry for 1-2 min further.
Finish stew

4 Finish stew

  • Meanwhile, rinse and pat dry the prawns.
  • To the pot, add the tamarind paste, tomato passata, and brown sugar and mix to combine.
  • Add the 0.5 vegetable stock cube, and the measured water.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 min on medium heat until the carrots have softened, and the sauce has thickened.
  • Add the prawns, and simmer for 4-5 min until cooked through. Turn off the heat, and set aside.
Tip! Adjust the thickness of the stew to your liking by adding more or less water towards the end of cooking.
