This quick prawn coconut curry has been a dinner staple in my household for years. Whenever I’m stuck for meal ideas or want something quick and easy, I always come back to it. This is my version of a ‘curry in a hurry’ – It will only take 30 minutes for a lovely, warming curry that’s full of flavour.
