In association with Veetee
Today I’m sharing with you my Quick & Spicy Prawn Curry which cooks in less than 20 minutes! It’s National Curry Week (10 – 16 October) so Veetee asked if I would like to share my favourite curry with you.
Whenever I go out to an Indian restaurant I usually opt for a prawn curry and at home I love making prawn curries as they are so quick and easy to make.
Usually my curries are mild to medium in heat but I decided to create something with a bit more chilli heat this time but then offset it slightly with single cream.
To be honest I was expecting my daughter to complain about the heat as she’s not a fan of hot chilli but to my surprise she absolutely loved it and her plate was empty in no time at all.
Hubby and son were also equally impressed so I will be making this on a regular basis as meals the whole family can agree on are not always easy to come by!
I have to admit I had never cooked ‘heat and eat’ microwavable rice from Veetee before and was blown away by the ease, convenience and quality of the rice. You simply pierce the lid of the Veetee tub a few times, heat in the microwave for 2 minutes and then fluff to perfection with a fork, no boiling water, no pan to wash up and no danger of under or over cooked rice.
Yes I will admit I have done both before and usually because I’m with juggling another dish or dishes. So my Quick & Spicy Prawn Curry paired with Veetee Basmati Rice is the perfect midweek dish to make when you’ve come home from work tired and hungry!
If you want to turn down the heat for younger children then just reduce the amount of chilli powder to give a milder curry as this is a hot curry.

Prawns are so good for a quick curry aren’t they as they cook fast compared to meat versions.

Georgia Colloff
I really like Veetee rice, I know my dad would love this so I’ll definitely share this recipe wth him! It looks delicious I’m just allergic to prawns! 🙁
Camilla
Thanks Georgia, I’m sure you could adapt it to chicken if you’re allergic to prawns. I would add it after 5 minutes of cooking the onions!
