Preparation
Step 1
Either chop all the paste ingredients or use a food processor to make a smooth paste
Heat the oil in a wok and stir fry the sweetcorn, pepper and courgette until slightly softened
Stir in the prepared curry paste and coconut milk. Bring up to the boil
Turn the heat down to a simmer and reduce the consistency until a little thicker
Add the prawns and cook for 5 mins until the prawns are pink and cooked thru
Serve with a packet of soft noodles,stir fried with the soy sauce
You can use diced chicken instead of prawns, just brown this first before you fry the vegetables
Also you can use different vegetables, eg green beans and mange tout
