Medium Curry Coconut Prawn Rice

Medium Curry coconut prawns with basmati rice, lime, fresh coriander and red chilli

Juicy prawns, fluffy basmati rice and creamy coconut come together in this colourful one-pan dinner, with lime adding a bright fresh finish. It is quick enough for a busy evening but has all the fragrance and comfort of a meal that has been simmering away for much longer.

🌶️ Spice & Dipity Medium Curry Powder brings gentle warmth and aromatic curry flavour without overpowering the prawns. Better still, the rice cooks right in the coconut-spiced liquid, so it absorbs every bit of flavour and keeps the washing-up pleasingly small.

  • 250g basmati rice, rinsed
