Simple Prawn Bhuna

Submitted by Kikais Kitchen

"Bhuna is I think my favorite type of Indian curry. It has quiet a mellow delicate flavor to it. Great with rice and Naan bread. You can play with the spices a little bit to adjust it accordingly to suit your taste. Preparation time includes marinating time."

Tasty, but 150ml is too much water to add, try 50ml. 10min is not long enough to reduce 150ml, and is too long to cook the prawns, they come out overdone, unless maybe you have particularly huge ones.

As it says, very simple! My wife doesn't like spicy food so I simply removed the cayenne pepper and Chili, and it was still very tasty.<br/><br/>Also, all ingredients readily available at the supermarket - a good starter for a novice curry cook!

Fabulous recipe. Extremely simple and very tasty. Does not overpower the prawns and ist the correct portion size. Fantastic!!!
