Ingredients

• Prawns (peeled and deveined) - 300 grams
• Coconut milk - 400 ml
• Basmati rice - 150 grams
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1 medium
• Garlic (minced) - 3 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 tablespoon
• Tomato (chopped) - 1 medium
• Green chili (slit) - 1
• Curry powder - 1 tablespoon
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Oil (cooking) - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it in a pot with 300 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet or pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the chopped tomato, curry powder, and turmeric powder to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add the prawns to the curry and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through. Season with salt to taste.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro.
8. Serve the prawn coconut curry over the cooked basmati rice in bowls.
