Method

  • Blend the ginger and garlic together in a food processor to make a fine paste. Remove and set aside, then blend the onions to a fine paste with 100ml of the oil.

  • Season the prawns with 1/2 teaspoon each of the turmeric and salt. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a non-stick frying pan and sear the prawns briefly, then remove and set aside.

  • Heat the remaining oil in a heavy frying pan and add the onion paste with the cinnamon leaves.

  • Fry over a moderate heat for 10 minutes or until light brown, stirring occasionally.

  • Mix together the cumin, remaining turmeric, ginger-garlic paste and 150ml water, then add to the onions.

  • Reduce the heat and cook for another 5-8 minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in the remaining salt, the green chillies and prawns and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.

  • Mix in the coconut milk and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the prawns are just cooked, adding a little more water if necessary.

  • Correct the seasoning with salt and sugar, sprinkle over the cardamom seeds and stir in the clarified butter.

  • Serve with steamed rice.
