Prawn Curry

I love a good Curry, not too hot but with a certain heat.This Prawn Curry is mellowed with the help of coconut milk and yoghurt.

Ingredients

800 gr. peeled Prawns
1 small can diced tomatoes
1/2 lemon
1 stick cinnamon

Method

Mix curcuma, ground coriander, cumin and chili powder in a bowl.
Peel the ginger and grate in the bowl as well. Peel the garlic and press through a garlic crusher.
Stir in 5 tablespoons of water to create a paste.

Peel onion and chili pepper and chop into small pieces.
Heat oil in a pan fry them shortly, then add the paste and sauté 1 minute. After that, add the tomatoes, juice of half a lemon, cinnamon stick and curry.

Sauté shrimp for several minutes and add before serving in the curry.
