Thanks Demi - I have just scoffed this, and it was so delicious I wanted to eat the plate, lol. I didn't have all the ingredients to hand, so I used:

Prawn and coconut balti

1 large onion, sliced
1 tbsp oil
Small piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1 Large garlic clove, crushed
1 fresh chili
1 dessertspoon paprika
1 tsp curry powder
½ tsp Cumin (ground)
½ tsp Ground coriander
tin of chopped tomatoes (mine had 14g carbs)
165ml (¼ pint) coconut milk
225g raw king prawns

If someone didn't have the coconut I think 1-2 tblsp of cream or yoghurt would work too.. And extra curry powder or garam masala could be used instead of the coriander, cumin and ginger. Indian spices are fairly interchangeable, I think.

It was really quick to make using the chopped tomatoes, as there was no need to reduce the sauce. Fresh would have tasted different though. We served it with spinach wilted in butter, and we couldn't eat all of it. There's a generous serving left for tomorrow.

The values for 1/3 the recipe with the ingredients I had are:

17.4 carbs
16.9 protein
21.4 fat
1.4 fibre
311 calories

I cannot believe how filling it was when it has so few calories, but we did have a good lot of spinach and butter with it.

Thanks again for the recipe. I'll definitely be making it again.
