Place the prawns in a bowl with the lime juice, 2 tbsp water, half the salt and turmeric, all the red chilli powder.
2
Mix, cover and chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour.

If using fresh fenugreek leaves, soak them in a bowl of a little water so they lose the bitterness for 15 minutes.

This time I only had powdered which I added to the pan later.

Heat the oil in a hot pan, add the ginger, garlic, green chilli, finely chopped spring onions, sliced fennel.
6

Add to the pan the coriander, the marinated prawns, stir over the heat for a minute, then add the coconut milk and simmer for 3 minutes or untill the prawns are cooked (they will turn from grey to pink in colour).
