Ingredients

2 tbsp oil
1 tsp Shemin’s Cumin Seeds
1 tsp Shemin’s Mustard Seeds (optional)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 pot Shemin’s Seafood Curry Paste

How to make Quick & Easy Prawn Bhuna

Heat the Oil:
Heat the oil in a pan and add the cumin and mustard seeds (if using). Let them sizzle for a few seconds to release their flavour.
Cook the Onion & Paste:
Add the chopped onion and cook until golden brown (around 5–7 minutes). Stir in the Seafood Curry Paste with a splash of water and cook gently for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Tomatoes & Simmer:
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook on medium heat for 5–6 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the Prawns:
Add the prawns and stir well to coat in the sauce. Cook for just a few minutes until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
Finish & Serve:
Stir in the chopped green chillies (if using). Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with rice or Shemin’s Indian Breads.

Tips

Tips:

This curry base works beautifully with chicken (thighs or breast), roasted aubergine, chickpeas, or paneer for a vegetarian twist.
Stir into cooked lentils for a spicy dahl-style dish.
Serve with basmati rice, Shemin’s Indian Breads, or even a jacket potato for a speedy meal.
While this recipe is a quick and easy version, for even deeper flavour you can slow-cook it until the sauce reduces and clings to the meat – just like a traditional bhuna!
