Method

Blend spice paste ingredients with a little water until smooth.

Simmer tamarind stock ingredients in a large pan for 20-30 minutes and sieve.

Heat a wok, add spice paste, 200ml tamarind stock, dates, and coconut milk, then cook for 4-6 minutes.

Fry prawns in butter for 1-2 minutes per side and stir into the curry sauce.

Mix flour, salt, and water into a smooth dough and divide into 4 pieces.

Roll dough into circles, char on a hot griddle pan, and brush with melted ghee.

Serve curry in a bowl garnished with cress alongside the flatbreads.
