This recipe pays homage to the Indian coastline and Malaysia. This curry is aromatic, sweet, creamy, spicy and moreish. Goan influences can be seen in the spices, and also the richness of the peanut butter, soy sauce and coconut milk.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, ginger paste, garlic paste and chopped chillies, and cook for 5–8 minutes until caramelised and soft.

Step 2

Add the chicken and ground spices, and cook for another 8–10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the peanut butter, green beans, coconut milk, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil, and season with a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a slow boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, bubbling gently, for 8 minutes to reduce.

Step 4

Once the sauce has thickened and reduced, add the prawns (you can add these from frozen) and cook for 1-3 minute until they are pink and cooked through. Taste and adjust the sugar, salt and soy sauce as needed until that umami note sings.

Step 5

Garnish with chopped coriander and red chilli, and serve - with rice, if you like.
