Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 2 large red onions, finely sliced
- 4cm piece of fresh ginger
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 long red chillies, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 8 large vine-ripened tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 16 fresh curry leaves (available in Tesco or Asian grocers)
- 2 x 400ml tins coconut milk
- Juice of 1 lime
- 150g baby spinach leaves, 200g raw king prawns and 200g salmon, skinned and in chunks, to serve
Method
- 1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion, season and cook for 10 minutes until softened.
- 2. Whizz the ginger, garlic and chilli in a small blender until finely chopped. Add to the onion with the ground spices. Fry for 3-4 minutes.

- 4. Pour half the sauce into a plastic container. Cool completely and seal, then freeze for up to 3 months.
- 5. Add the spinach to the rest of the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until wilted, stirring constantly. Add the prawns and salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the prawns are pink. Stir gently or the salmon pieces will break up. Serve with steamed basmati rice and lime wedges.

Chef's tip
In this recipe you freeze only the sauce, so we have included enough spinach and seafood in the ingredients for just the fresh curry. You will need to buy the same again to finish off the frozen curry.
