Mustard & Chilli Prawns

Mustard & Chilli Prawns:

This is a real quick recipe and very tasty if I say so myself. If you cant get mustard seeds then improvise how about 1/2 whole grain mustard it won't be the same exactly but it will still be oh so very good.

Serves 2
Ingredients:

8 – 10 oz raw prawns shelled and cleaned.
1 shallot finely chopped
1 clove garlic finely chopped
¾ tsp ground cumin
¾ tsp ground coriander
2 green chillies whole (but prick skin so they don’t burst)
3 tomatoes skinned and chopped
3 tsp brown mustard seeds
10-12 curry leaves
1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves
4tbs dry white wine or water
2 tbsp peanut oil.

Method:
Heat oil in pan until hot. Add the mustard seeds. Within a few seconds they will start to pop. Now add the shallot and garlic fry on medium heat for 1 minute.
Now add the cumin & coriander, chillies, cook stirring all the time for another minute or so.
Add the tomatoes and chopped coriander and cook for 2-3 minutes then add the wine. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 mins. If the sauce becomes to dry add a little water.
Add the raw prawns and cook until they turn pink. Adjust seasoning and serve. .
