King Prawn Madras
« on: August 20, 2006, 11:35 PM »
Just thought i would post some of my recent curry cooking.
This is made using the "A Good Curry Base" https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,923.0.html curry sauce

I can't get Rajah Madras Powder over here so i have just been using a hot curry powder as a substitute in the base.
Curry was made using my throw spices into very hot oil with a dash of water method, add half ladle curry base, prawns then 2 ladles more of base then bubble away for 8 minutes.

Enjoy
Stew ::)

Hi Stew,

Looks great!  Where you are in New Zealand you must be able to buy king prawns for a song, here in good old England they cost an arm and a leg.  Oh and by the way where's the coriander or can't I see it for looking CQ

Don't cut the heads off the prawns - you have to leave the eyes in so the curry sees you through the week .  :)
