Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium. Add 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves; cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 2 tsp curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 14.5 oz diced tomatoes and 1 cup coconut milk; bring to a simmer.

  3. Step 3

    Let the sauce simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and the color deepens.

  4. Step 4

    Add 1 lb prawns and cook for 4-5 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves and cook for 1 minute until wilted. Season with salt to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, topped with 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese. Enjoy with rice or bread.
