Healthy Swaps & Tips:
• Swap prawns for tofu or chicken breast for a different protein
• Use light coconut milk to reduce fat content
• Add vegetables like spinach, baby corn, or red pepper for extra nutrients
• Control spice level by adjusting the curry paste
• Freeze the sauce (without prawns) and reheat later with fresh protein
Storage & Meal Prep:
• Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days
• Reheat gently on the hob or in the microwave until hot throughout
• Make the curry sauce ahead and store separately from the prawns for maximum freshness
• Ideal for batch cooking - just add protein fresh each time
Ideal For:
• Curry lovers short on time
• Health-conscious foodies who want flavour without fuss
• Busy families needing a quick dinner solution
