    1 In a food processor, blitz onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric and cumin into a paste.

    2 In a large heavy-based saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Add potatoes, carrots and 1 cup of water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, or until potato is tender.

    3 Add coconut milk, prawns and courgette and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until prawns are cooked through. Stir through spinach until just wilted. Serve with steamed rice and garnish with extra green chilli.

    Variations

    Make it low FODMAP: Swap red onion for 1 cup finely chopped green leek leaves. Omit garlic and add a drizzle of garlic-infused oil instead.

    Make it gluten free: Check spices are gluten free.

      Took much longer to cook potatoes and carrots. And needed heaps more water and some salt. Bit disappointing.
