Cookbook author Chetna Makan makes coconut curry leaf prawns with a peanut & coriander chutney from her latest book.
Great as a sharing snack, these deep fried, crispy prawns have a balance of sweet and spicy flavours. If you can, keep the tails on the prawns as they’re perfect to hold onto when dipping into the fresh, zingy chutney. The chutney goes perfectly in sandwiches and salads too.

It's a shame my local Waitrose store does not stock some off these ingredients. We rarely shop in Waitrose, simply because our store is not large enough and does not have the range off items we buy.
This was an Ad video that played with the option to skip – not only did I watch the Ad video, but then went on to find the video just to watch again! Brilliant – love prawns & love a crunch, the one and only thing I don't favour is coconut, not fond of its taste & strength….. Will certainly look out for your recipe book !
I mean it looks good, I like prawns, the wife loves coriander and I'm hungry so yes. Yes. YES!
Love Chetna’s recipes and her enthusiasm. Those prawns look delicious. Thank you, Chetna and Waitrose.
