Prawn curry with coconut milk is a quick and easy dinner recipe. Not only is this coconut prawn curry recipe tasty but it is also a healthy curry as prawns are packed with vitamin B12.
This prawn curry recipe is a simple, delicious, and flavourful dish made with prawns, coconut milk, and spices.
It pairs well with basmati rice, naan bread, or any Indian flatbread. This spicy, low-fat prawn curry with coconut milk is sure to be a favourite. Home-style prawn curry that tastes authentic and as if it’s from the local restaurant.
There are many different species of prawns, but they all taste good. You can get prawns raw or cooked. When prawns are raw, they are a blue-grey colour and when they are cooked, they are pink. I always use cooked prawns for this recipe as it reduces the cooking time significantly.
However, if you want to use raw prawns then be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
The main question people usually ask when it comes to prawns is ‘should I devein the prawns?’ Deveining prawns refers to removing the digestive tract of the prawns and this is entirely up to you.
With that being said I always devein my prawns as there can sometimes give a slightly bitter taste. Plus, the whole concept of eating that part always puts me off.
To devein a prawn what you need to have is a small and sharp knife. Use the knife to make a shallow cut along the length of the black line. This should be enough for you to simply pick out the ‘vein’ and pull it out.
This recipe is inspired by Goan cuisine. Goan cuisine commonly uses seafood and coconut milk, just as this recipe does. I have kept this recipe as authentic as possible to the food of Goa.
This curry recipe is ready in under an hour, so if you want something quick for dinner this is just perfect for you. As with most of my curries, I serve it with homemade chapatti, and everyone loves it.
