Spiced Prawns With Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1 large onion, halved and sliced
• 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/3 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder or fresh chili pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 8 ounces prawns
• 1 lb fresh tomato, peeled and chopped
• salt and pepper
• nutty flavoured brown rice or pasta

Directions

1. 1

   Heat the oil and add the onion slices, frying gently until soft and golden. Add all spices and garlic and heat through a few minutes.

2. 2

   Now add prawns, stirring around to coat evenly with spice mixture. Add the tomatoes and some S+P, bringing to a simmer and cooking 20-25 minutes, uncovered, which will rake off a lot of water and reduce the tomato to a sauce.

3. 3

   Serve with rice or pasta.
