This curry dish might be made from scratch but it was so easy to prepare with literally whatever usable stuffs I had in my kitchen – overripe peaches in the fridge, prawns in the freezer and a bunch of spices in the pantry. Never had fruits in a curry before? It’s time to change that. And you’d be surprised at how much sweetness and flavour they actually bring to the dish just like what a seasoning cube does. Crunchy prawns, sweet peaches and creamy gravy – what’s not to like? To keep the curry healthy, I normally use low fat evaporated milk but if you prefer the real thing, just go for full fat coconut milk. Enjoy!
