Potato and Prawn Curry

I didn't follow the original recipe and grind the spice paste, I just use whatever spice paste thats available in the fridge, I add about 1 1/2 tablespoon of my own spice paste. I think just buy any brand of sambal or chilli paste from supermarket can also do this dish. Attach recipe from Yum Yum magazine, I didn't do the spice paste, so I skip the frying paste part for my dish...


Spices(grounded)
2cm tumeric
2 cm ginger
5 red chillies
5 pips garlic, removed skin


Ingredients:
2 tbsp oil
2 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1onion, remove skin

500g medium prawn meat

Seasoning:
½ tsp salt
½ tbsp sugar
1tbsp light soya sauce

the heat and simmer for 25min.
