Prawn Curry

Description

This is from a magazine dated September 1977 with a bit of adaption from us. If you don't want to peel prawns about 500 grams cooked prawn flesh will do (DO NOT use shrimp or small cocktail prawns). Have not included chill time. Can take about 45 minutes to peel prawns (that's what I've allowed in preparation time). Originally suggested that you accompany the prawns with rice, pappadoms, sliced pineapple and cucumber, coconut and chutney. We usually have rice and steam vegetables. SUGGESTION if your curry should turn out with a gritty taste then put about 1/2 to teaspoon sugar with your curry powder and cut it through or use a mortar and pestel (blenders/food processors are too big for such a small amount).
