About Burmese Prawn Curry
Amy and Emily Chung’s bazun hin cooks prawns in a slowly developed onion and spice base. Its onion-based sauce carries the flavour of garlic, ginger and coriander stalks.
Paprika, turmeric and chilli powder season the softened aromatics. Fish sauce joins the mixture before the raw prawns cook in the fragrant base.
The curry is served hot over steamed rice, with coriander leaves adding a fresh green garnish. The prawns sit in a richly coloured sauce that coats the rice beneath them.
