1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon crushed dried red chillies
4 tablespoons groundnut oil
1 capsicum, chopped small
2 large onions, sliced
1/2 oz. ginger, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 fresh chillies, finely chopped
1 lb. prawns, peeled
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1.14 oz. can of plum tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped water
Method:
Heat the salt, cumin and dried chillies in a heavy frying pan over a high heat for 1 minute. Keep the spices moving. Add the oil. Lower the heat and add the onion and capsicum. Cook for a few minutes until the onions are soft.
Add the ginger, garlic and chillies. Stir for another minute. Add prawns, turmeric and tomatoes. If the mixture is too thick add a little water. Simmer until prawns are cooked through.
