Prawn and mango curry with phulkas

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes plus 30 minutes' resting time

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

6 T sunflower oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 red chillies, chopped
2 T curry powder
1 t black mustard seeds
2 t ground cumin
2 t ground coriander
1 t paprika
1 T turmeric
2 lime leaves
a pinch of grated nutmeg
65 ml red wine vinegar
1 x 400 g can whole, peeled tomatoes
400 g prawns, deveined
2 mangoes, cubed
fresh coconut, grated, to garnish
fresh coriander, to garnish

For the phulkas

140 g wholewheat flour
1 t salt
1 t oil
ghee, for serving

Method

Heat 2 T oil in a large frying pan. Sauté the onion, garlic and chilli for a few seconds. Add the spices and stir to coat the onions.

Add 2 T oil, vinegar and tomatoes and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

In a separate pan, fry the prawns in the remaining oil until pink, then add to the curry sauce. The prawns can also be braaied.

Arrange the mango cubes on a serving dish, top with the prawns, garnish with coconut and coriander and serve with the phulkas.

To make the phulkas, place the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add a little water at a time to make a really soft, pliable dough. Knead until smooth and elastic.

Add a little oil to coat the dough and knead a bit more. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

Shape the dough into lemon-sized balls and roll out very thinly.

Heat a cast-iron pan until smoking hot and cook each phulka for about 1 minute, or until small bubbles start to form. Turn and cook the other side for 30 seconds.

Remove from the heat, spread with ghee on one side and serve hot.

Cook's note: phulkas are also known as chapatis or rotis, and are traditionally served along with Indian meals. For softer phulkas, add a little milk while kneading the dough.
