Tips:
- Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If you're using frozen prawns, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Marinate the prawns: Marinating the prawns in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and spices helps to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the prawns properly: Prawns cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked prawns will become tough and rubbery.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the prawns and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, it will be watery and bland.
- Serve with rice or naan: Prawns in cashew coconut curry sauce is a delicious dish that can be served with rice or naan. Naan is a type of Indian flatbread that is perfect for dipping into the curry sauce.
Conclusion:
Prawns in cashew coconut curry sauce is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The prawns are tender and succulent, and the sauce is creamy and rich. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
