A simple prawn curry, not too hot. Lovely served atop steamed basmati rice with a side of cucumber raita. May use scallops or other seafood in place of the prawns. Recipe adapted from Madhur Joffrey.

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon ground coriander (or 2 tablespoons coriander seeds)

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my curry turned out really watery. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough.

I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but I really enjoyed this curry. The flavors are well-balanced and the coconut milk is not overpowering.

This curry is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.
