{{RecipeIngredients
| 220g Peeled (defrosted) [[Prawns|prawns]] - about 400g when frozen
| 1 medium [[Onion|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|curry powder]] to taste
}}
'''Mashed potato'''
[[Image:Quick prawn curry adding lager.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Want more sauce?]]
{{RecipeIngredientsNB
| 2 large [[Potatoes|potatoes]], peeled and quartered
| Good splash of [[Milk|milk]]
| 1 tablespoon [[Butter|butter]]
| [[Sea Salt|sea salt]] and [[Freshly ground black pepper|freshly ground black pepper]]
| [[Extra virgin olive oil]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| [[Boil]] the [[Potatoes|potatoes]] for 20 to 25 minutes or until soft
| [[Mash]] with the [[Butter|butter]] and [[Milk|milk]] and season to taste
| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] in a [[Frying pan|frying pan]] or [[Wok|wok]], add a good grind of [[Pepper|pepper]] but no [[Salt|salt]] to the oil and [[Fry|fry]] the sliced [[Onions|onions]] until they begin to caramelise
| Add the [[Curry powder|curry powder]] or [[Curry paste|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|prawns]] in to the pan and stir meaningfully until they have changed to the colour of the curried [[Onions|onions]]
| If you want more sauce, just add a little [[vegetable stock]], [[lager]] or even water.
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Arrange the [[Mashed potatoes|mashed potatoes]] in a ring and pour the [[Prawn|prawn]]/[[Onion|onion]] mixture into the centre, crack open a bottle of [[Ale|ale]] and enjoy!
