NUMBERED INDEX ON PAGES 55 and 98
PRAWN AND TOMATO CURRY - Serves 4
1.5 Syns per serving
2 onions, finely chopped
6 ripe tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
Large piece of fresh root ginger, chopped
6 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 level tbsp. Patak's Tikka Masala paste - 6 Syns
400g shelled raw king prawns
250g frozen peas
Spray a large, non-stick frying pan well with Frylight and cook the onions until softened. I know you'll get fed up with me saying but - I start mine off in the microwave, with a splash of water, to speed things up.
Reserve 8 tomato wedges and put the rest into a food processor, along with the ginger and garlic. Whizz for a minute or two.
Add the curry paste to the onions in the pan and cook for 30 seconds, stirring.
Stir in the tomato mix and the remaining tomato wedges. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
Mix in the prawns and peas and simmer until the prawns are pink and thoroughly cooked through.
Serve over rice, scattered with freshly chopped coriander, if you have any available.
The sauce can be made earlier in the day and the prawns and peas added later.
I sometimes add in some grated courgettes, at the same time as adding the tomatoes. If I have Syns to spare, I sometimes add in a few tablespoons of reduced fat *coconut milk, when adding the prawns and peas.
Obviously, you can use whatever curry paste you prefer.
This is a take on a Good Food recipe.
*Any (reduced fat) coconut milk I have left over, I pour into ice cube trays so I can add one or more to recipes, at a later date.

Aww, thanks so much, slimminggirl! And, thanks again for the Reputation comment. It was so nice, after being away for a few days, to turn Minis on and to see you had added that!

If you really want to know, the other one was from me
and well deserved it was too. A lot of people can't see them so never know they exist, as they just use their phone apps to view Mins and you don't see them then. Personally, I like to give rep points when they are well deserved as people put a lot of time and effort into maintaining threads, especially those like yours, where people can return again and again to find new inspiration.
I've made lots of your recipes and don't always remember to come and update on here but they're much appreciated.

Again if u really want to know also I gave you a very well deserved rep comment - a tiny gesture to show my appreciation for all the work and time u've put into sharing these fab recipes!!xxThank-you so much, Cloudy! That is lovely of you and I really appreciate your kind words. I always hate not being able to thank people who have left Reputation comments - it looks so bad, so I'm really glad to know who, at least, two of them are from!
