AUSTRALIA DAY 2014....RITA`S TAMARIND AND COCONUT PRAWN CURRY

Extract from " MIGHTY SPICE EXPRESS ' . .but tweaked to my liking..

250 gm buckwheat into boiling water , until water is absorbed...

Heat a slug of oil in a pan over medium heat   ..add 2 sliced onions .2 fat cloves of garlic , sliced  1 fresh red bullet chilli sliced with seeds, a handful of ground peppercorns , a dsp of paprika , a dsp of turmeric ......add to  the onion mix in the pan .

Once you have a nice golden colour  add a worthwhile pinch of salt.

Pour in  400ml of coconut milk stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer , then add 3 tsp of tamarind paste .

Mix everything together the sauce should be taking on a rich orange colour
.
While the sauce is simmering add 500gm of  cleaned , raw prawns...give them a good stir  making sure all prawns are covered with sauce
...scrunch up a good sized piece of baking paper run it under cold water and place over the pan for 5- 6 minutes till prawns are cooked
.
Serve prawns and curry sauce over a bed of buckwheat garnish with torn coriander leaves ..

Enjoy and cheers to a multi cultural Australia ..
