About

We love curries in the West Indies. This dish is busting out with colour and mixes juicy prawns in a thick, rich tomato sauce with what we call ‘Irish potatoes’ (as opposed to sweet potatoes). Depending on your tolerance for heat, either chuck all the chilli seeds, keep half, or be brave and put all of them in the sauce: this is meant to be hot! I go for half the seeds for this dish.
