-Boil 100 millilitres of water in a saucepan. Add the curry paste, gently fold and bring it to a boil.

-Put in the prawns and salt and boil until the prawns are cooked.

Tip:
– If you can get a hold of Lady Fingers Roots(Kra-Chai) use this instead of the ginger puree.
-You can also replace the pineapple with green papaya but you might need to add a little more sugar due to its sourness.
-Make sure you cook on a high heat and do not over stir this curry while cooking. Happy cooking!
