Spiced Prawns With Tomatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 large onion, halved and sliced
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chili powder or 1/2 teaspoon fresh chili pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
8 ounces prawns
1 lb fresh tomato, peeled and chopped
salt and pepper
nutty flavoured brown rice or pasta

Preparation

Heat the oil and add the onion slices, frying gently until soft and golden. Add all spices and garlic and heat through a few minutes.
Now add prawns, stirring around to coat evenly with spice mixture. Add the tomatoes and some S+P, bringing to a simmer and cooking 20-25 minutes, uncovered, which will rake off a lot of water and reduce the tomato to a sauce.
Serve with rice or pasta.
