A flavorful and creamy Prawn & Aubergine Curry that combines tender prawns with soft aubergine in a rich coconut milk and curry paste sauce. This quick and easy dish offers a perfect balance of spices and creaminess, ideal for a comforting dinner served with rice or flatbread.

Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 300g raw prawns, peeled and deveined

Vegetables

  • 1 large aubergine (eggplant), diced

Spices & Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons curry paste (red or yellow, depending on preference)

Liquids

  • 400ml coconut milk

Optional

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for sautéing aubergine)
  • Fresh coriander for garnish
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aubergine: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced aubergine and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens and begins to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add Curry Paste and Coconut Milk: Stir in the curry paste to coat the aubergine evenly, cooking for 1-2 minutes to release the flavors. Then pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the Prawns: Add the prawns to the curry mixture. Stir gently and cook until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or warm flatbread.

Notes

  • Choose fresh or frozen prawns; if frozen, thaw completely before cooking.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of curry paste to 1 tablespoon.
  • Aubergine absorbs oil and liquids; be sure not to overcook it to maintain texture.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of sugar or a splash of lime juice before serving.
  • This curry pairs excellently with jasmine or basmati rice.
