Method
In a food processor, roughly blend the onion and garlic until almost the texture of purée.
Heat the oil in a wok, add the onion mixture and stir-fry for 5 minutes until softened. Add spices, then stir in the chilli.
Stir in the coconut cream, 150ml (¼pt) water, fish sauce and sugar. Add the fresh coriander and tiger prawns (for an attractive presentation, leave the tails on).
Cook gently until the prawns change from blue to pink. Before serving, stir in ¼ cucumber, peeled, halved lengthways, deseeded and sliced, along with a slice of peeled, cored and chopped fresh pineapple. Not suitable for freezing.
