About

Cooked prawns/shrimp and tender broccoli cook so quickly and work wonderfully together in this fresh and tangy curry. The sauce at the base of this dish is spiced with panch phoron, a Bengali five-spice mixture, which is the mother of ingredient resurrection. The spice, tomato and mustard marry together perfectly, and it makes a wonderful vehicle for whatever you might want to use up from your fridge.
