KERALA PRAWN CURRY

Steps:

• In a food processor, blitz the chillies, onion and ginger with 3 tbsp water into a smoothish paste - you may need to scrape it down the sides.
• Heat the oil in a heavy pan or wok. When hot, toss in the mustard and fenugreek seeds, and curry leaves - they'll crackle and pop - and fry for 10 seconds. Add the onion paste, turn the heat down a tad and cook without colouring for about 5 minutes. Splash in some water if it starts to catch.
• Add the turmeric and cracked peppercorns and stir the spices around for a few seconds before tipping in the prawns. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, stirring all the time. The milk will take on a yellow colour from the turmeric. Cook for 1 minute until everything's heated through. Squeeze over some lime, sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve with rice.

KERALAN HAKE CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a shallow casserole dish (or ovenproof frying pan with a lid) over a medium heat. Add the onion, coriander stalks, ginger and peppers, and cook gently with the lid on for 15 mins until softened and beginning to brown. Turn up the heat, stir through the spices and cook for 1 min more until aromatic.
• Tip in the tomatoes and pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a bubble, then put in the oven with the lid on for 20 mins. Remove from the oven and nestle the hake on the sauce. Return to the oven, uncovered, for a further 10-15 mins or until the hake is cooked through. Season to taste, scatter with the coriander leaves and serve with rice or naan to mop up the sauce.
