Coconut milk makes a lovely rich dairy-free curry sauce when mixed with curry paste. This dairy-free prawn curry is quick and easy to make as the prawns are already cooked and only need to be heated through in the sauce. The curry sauce also makes a good base for chicken curry too, just replace the prawns with 3 chopped chicken breast fillets and simmer in the sauce for 10 mins until cooked through. Yellow spiced rice makes a colourful accompaniment, just cook the rice with 1tsp turmeric and 1tsp cumin seeds. It’s not advisable to freeze this prawn curry, especially if the prawns have been frozen already.
