Although Prawn Balti is usually cooked in single portions in a traditional balti dish (balti bowl) when cooked in Indian restaurants, I’m cooking this in a larger pan to serve four. A super quick, medium-spiced tasty prawn curry.

The Spices

For the spices I use a blend of cardamom, cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, ground cinnamon, and hot chilli powder. You can add more if you like it hotter. 👩‍🍳PRO TIP Use big juicy fresh king prawns that have been deshelled and deveined for the best flavour. I don’t know about you but I could devour the whole dish of this prawn balti with a couple of warm toasted chapatis 😋 But the sides with a curry are part of the overall experience in my opinion so why not serve this prawn curry with:

Onion Fried Rice

Homemade Mango Chutney Recipe

Garlic Naan Bread Recipe

Onion Bhaji
