Ingredients

Part I:

  • 15 to 20 dried chillies cut, discard seeds and soak in hot boiling water for 20 mins
  • 10 to 12 shallots
  • 4 pips garlic
  • 2 candlenuts
  • 2 stalks lemongrass use the pale part about 4 inches from the base
  • 1 in (2.5cm) turmeric
  • 1/2 in (1cm) galangal
  • 1 tablespoon Asian shrimp paste belacan

Part II:

  • 1 litre water
  • Half of a ripen pineapple but not too over ripe, cut into 1.5 inch pieces

Part III:

  • 250 ml thick coconut milk

Part IV:

  • 10 to 12 large prawns with shell intact

Instructions

  • Blend all ingredients in Part I to form a paste. Heat 3/4 cup oil in a wok/pan and saute the paste till it becomes a bit drier and fragrant. Transfer the sauteed paste to a cooking pot and add Part II. If you find the gravy a bit too thick, you can add a little bit more water. Allow it to simmer for about 15 mins till the sweetness from the pineapple is released into the gravy.
  • After that, pour in Part III and allow it to simmer to a boil for 2-3 minutes. Then, add in the washed prawns and let it boil till they are cooked. Turn off the heat and serve hot with a plate of rice. Bon Appetit!
