• 6  garlic cloves, crushed
• 200  g green beans, topped and tailed
• 600  g  prawns, large, fresh, preferably de-veined and shelled (in the pictures here the shell was still on, fabulous for flavour but takes time to peel)

1. Over medium heat sauté oil, masala, onion, leek, mushrooms, red pepper, garlic and beans. Stir until the onions are glassy.

3. Add spinach and allow to wilt for a minute or two while stirring.
4. Add tomatoes and stir until heated.
5. Stir in cream for a minute.
6. Serve on rice. In my pictures you'll see brown basmati.
