  1. 01

    Heat oil in a deep pan, add mustard seeds and let them pop briefly, then soften the onion for 7 minutes.

  2. 02

    Stir in garlic, ginger, ground coriander and turmeric for 1 minute; pour in coconut milk and water, add salt and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

  3. 03

    Simmer the sauce for 8 minutes to develop its flavour, then add prawns and cook gently for 4–6 minutes until pink, opaque and cooked through.

  4. 04

    Fold in spinach until wilted and add lemon juice; avoid boiling the prawns for too long.

  5. 05

    Rinse the rice until the water runs almost clear. Add to a saucepan with 450 ml water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer on very low heat for 12 minutes; rest covered for 5 minutes.

  6. 06

    Taste, adjust the seasoning and spoon the hot curry over the rice to serve.
