* 220g Peeled (defrosted) Prawns - about 400g when frozen
* 1 medium Onion, peeled and sliced - normal white onions are best, the red onion I used gave it a strange blue hue!
* Curry paste or Curry powder to taste
'''Mashed potato'''
* 2 large Potatoes, peeled and quartered
* Good splash of Milk
* 1 tablespoon Butter
* Sea salt and Freshly ground black pepper
* Extra virgin olive oil
===Method===
* Boil the Potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes or until soft
* Mash with the Butter and Milk and season to taste
* Heat the Oil in a Frying pan or Wok, add a good grind of Pepper but no Salt to the oil and Fry the sliced Onions until they begin to caramelise
* Add the Curry powder or Curry paste. Any of the Patek-type curry pastes are good. About 1 tablespoon should do but add a little at a time - you can't take it out once you've made it too hot!
* Tip the Prawns in to the pan and stir meaningfully until they have changed to the colour of the curried Onions
* If you want more sauce, just add a little vegetable stock, lager or even water.
