Instructions

I love this dish not only because it tastes fantastic but also because it's the first dish I cooked in my first cookery class for my first client and it went down a storm! Since then I know that this has become one of their dinner party specialities. For me food is about sharing knowledge and love, and this dish has done all of that for me. It is a great tomato masala sauce lifted with the tang of tamarind, which provides an amazing freshness that works so well with the sweetness of the prawns.
