Delicious, healthy and quick!

Ingredients:
500g large raw prawns, peeled and deveined
30g ghee for frying
(if you can't get ghee, use unsalted butter with a little olive oil so as not to burn the butter)
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
5ml garam masala
5ml ground coriander
5ml turmeric
a pinch of chilli powder to taste
15ml tomato puree
500g pack fresh baby spinach, washed and drained

Method:
Heat the ghee or butter and olive oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and onion and fry gently until soft.
Add the spices and tomato puree and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the spinach and sweat them down until soft.
Add the prawns and stir-fry until they turn pink and are well coated with the softened spinach, spices and sauce.
Serve at once on rice or noodles.

If you want to make a smaller quantity,
adjust the prawns and spinach,
but leave the other ingredient quantities the same.
