King Prawns With Fenugreek (jheenga Methi)
- 1 dozen Raw King Prawns Per Person
- 1/2 dozen Spring Onions
- 1 tbsp Fenugreek Leaves Chopped (or 1 Tsp Powdered Fenugreek)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 2 Kafir Lime Leaves
- 1 Squeeze Lime Juice
- 1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 1 Chopped Green Chilli
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 clove Garlic Finely Chopped
- 1 Thumb Sized Piece Ginger Chopped
- 1/2 bunch Coriander - Chopped
- 1/2 dozen Baby Plum Tomatoes Chopped
- 1/4 Fennel Bulb, Sliced And Chopped
- 3 tbsp Coconut Milk
- Place the prawns in a bowl with the lime juice, 2 tbsp water, half the salt and turmeric, all the red chilli powder.
- Mix, cover and chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour.
- If using fresh fenugreek leaves, soak them in a bowl of a little water so they lose the bitterness for 15 minutes.
- This time I only had powdered which I added to the pan later.
- Heat the oil in a hot pan, add the ginger, garlic, green chilli, finely chopped spring onions, sliced fennel.
- Saute untill onions softened.
- Add to the pan the remainder of the turmeric and salt, the kafir lime leaves, the tomatoes, the fenugreek (powdered or fresh), 2 tbsp water and saute for a further 2 minutes.
- Add to the pan the coriander, the marinated prawns, stir over the heat for a minute, then add the coconut milk and simmer for 3 minutes or untill the prawns are cooked (they will turn from grey to pink in colour).
- Serve over rice.
- Enjoy!
