Ingredients

225 g fresh prawns, shelled and deveined or 225 g frozen prawns, shelled, de-frosted and deveined
2 tablespoons flavourless oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cardamom pod
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder
450 g tomatoes, chopped

Directions

1

In a large saucepan, heat the oil then add the chopped onions, ginger, garlic and cardamom and fry gently for about 10 minutes till softened and light-golden brown.
2

Then add in the spices and stir and cook for another 10 minutes (you may pour in a little water if you find the spices sticking to the bottom of the pan).
3

Add in the prawns and stir them so they are evenly coated with the spice mixture then add in the chopped tomatoes and season with salt and bring it to a simmering point.

Then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 20-25 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally, by which time most of the liquid will have evaporated and the tomatoes will have reduced to a thick sauce.
