Topic: King Prawn Curry

[Bob-A-Job]

Yesterday, the wife asked me to use the resources on here to make her a Prawn Curry with some 3 in (9 cm) King Prawns that she had bought.

After quite a bit of searching, I found tempest63's recipe Bawibride Prawn Patio

Now, she doesn't like it very spicy, so I didn't add the fresh chilli, I guessed at the amount of salt (1 tsp) and I didn't have the cane vinegar so I used the white vinegar. as suggested and followed the Method.

I will try it again but with a couple of small adjustments, that the wife has suggested/requested in that I make more of a sauce/gravy by adding a small amount of fresh cream and only use about 1/2 tbsp of vinegar.  Other than that, she quite liked it and has already been out and bought more Prawns!

That looks pretty good BAJ.  Prawns are good and I have a few dishes I cook often.  Not just Indian though.  I'd be happy to show you a recipe for Masala Shrimp which is a favourite in my home.

You'd be pretty safe that white vinegar is just cane vinegar anyway, ie: made from a ferment of simple cane sugar.  No malt, apple, coconut, wine or other flavoured ferment = white vinegar.

Thank you livo and the wife is nodding quite vigorously that she would love to try your Masala Shrimp recipe (and that I had better not muck it up!)

Mmmm nice King Prawns, loads of BIR dishes for those.
A bit messy to eat with the shell on, but well worth it in a good sauce. 

Show the wife this one -https://youtu.be/AoEGqdl6tZg
