This one is a firm favourite in this household and could be replicated without Your Inspiration at Home Sri Lankan Curry mix with a mixture of Malaysian Fish Curry Powder, chilli, turmeric and coriander powder. But – if you can access the Your Inspiration At Home mix – it makes life simple and tasty. And the products are all free from nasty and lovely.

You can buy this spice here , along with the French Provincial Herbs I also use often and the Chilli Con Carne Spice I used in the Mexican Pulled Chicken the other day. These are amazing spices to have in your collection and add oomph without the nasty to any meal.

Now I realise that this is an awfully big pot of seafood curry in the picture – but I made this on Good Friday this year and – well it fed a few people. The recipe bellow is a serve for 2.

INGREDIENTS:

500 g Marinara Mix ( I find Coles Deli do this best)

6 Extra Large Green Prawns

1 Large Tablespoon Your Inspiration at Home Sri Lankan Curry Blend (here)

1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil

1 Tablespoon Garlic Infused Olive Oil

1 Tin Ayam Coconut Cream ( Or a Good Thick Coconut Cream)

1 Heaped Teaspoon Tamarind Paste

1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce

1 Tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup or Raw Runny Honey

1/2 Bunch Chopped Corriander

1 Chopped long Red Chilli ( Optional)

Fresh Lime Cheeks and extra coriander to serve.

 

METHOD:

Melt Oils in a heavy based pan – add Curry Spices and fry until fragrant

(If you want to experiment use Babas Fish Curry Powder – 1 Tablespoon – at Asian Grocers, 1 Teaspoon Turmeric, 1 Teaspoon Coriander, 1 Teaspoon Chilli Flakes, 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder, 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder – Id rather have it made and in my cupboard by YIAH)

Add  your coconut cream and bring to a simmer – add fish sauce, tamarind and maple or honey ( which ever you are using) Bring to simmer.

Dump your Marinara Mix and Prawns into the simmering sauce. Mix well. Pop a lid on your pan and gently simmer for 8-10 Minutes or until the seafood is cooked through.

You can add more coconut cream and serve as a laksa style soup with bean shoots or serve with a small portion of steamed brown rice.

Don’t forget to turn off the heat and sprinkle liberally with your chopped coriander.

Have chilli, lime and extra coriander on the table.
