When you want something comforting but not heavy, this curry does the job beautifully. The sauce is silky from coconut milk, the prawns cook in minutes, and the lime keeps everything lively. It is the sort of easy supper that feels generous without making a big mess of the kitchen.

Method
Serves 4 · about 30 minutes from start to finish.
Heat the olive oil in a wide frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, garam masala and turmeric, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it bubble for 3-4 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the prawns and cook for 3 minutes, stirring once or twice, until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Fold in the spinach and lime zest, and let the leaves wilt into the sauce. Squeeze in the lime juice and season with black pepper and a little more salt if needed.
Serve straight away in warm bowls, spooning plenty of the sauce over the top.

Cook's tip
If your prawns release lots of liquid, turn the heat up for the final minute so the sauce stays creamy rather than watery.
