Vibrant veggies in tangy spice vinegar elevate flavors in this delicious Malaysian seafood curry.
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 tsp fennel seeds
  • 3/4 tsp cumin seeds
  • 3/4 tsp coriander seeds
  • 4 French shallots, coarsely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, finely chopped
  • 2-4 small fresh red chillies, finely chopped
  • 4 macadamia nuts, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
  • 1.2kg green king prawns, peeled leaving tails intact, deveined
  • 1 x 440ml can light coconut cream
  • 61.00 gm fish sauce
  • 1 small pineapple, peeled, hard core removed, cut into 2.5cm pieces
Instructions:
  • Grind the fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle until finely ground. Alternatively, use a coffee or spice grinder.
  • Combine the fennel mixture with shallot, garlic, ginger, chili, macadamia, and turmeric in a food processor. Pulse until a coarse paste is formed.
  • In a wok over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the spice paste and stir constantly for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Toss in the prawns and stir until they barely change color, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the coconut cream and simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes until the prawns are thoroughly cooked.
  • Combine the fish sauce and pineapple in the pan, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the pineapple is warm. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve in a bowl.
