Bombay Prawn Cocktail

The Indian version. Same sauce underneath, but the Bombay Chilli Crunch brings curry leaf, mustard seed and crispy chickpea, which turns a British classic into something that tastes like it came from somewhere else entirely. Better than it has any right to be.

15 minutes. Serves 4.

Ingredients

  • 600g cooked prawns, peeled
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 dessertspoons Plateit Bombay Chilli Crunch
  • A splash of brandy
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • White pepper
  • Baby cos, shredded
  • Coriander, and roti or brown bread to serve

Method

  1. Build the sauce: mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire, brandy, lemon, white pepper.
  2. Half the Bombay Chilli Crunch stirred through it.
  3. Cold shredded lettuce into bowls, prawns on top, sauce over.
  4. The rest of the crunch spooned over neat so the chickpeas and curry leaves stay crisp.
  5. Coriander, and warm roti alongside.

Tip: The crunch goes on at the table. Sitting in the sauce for ten minutes and the curry leaves go soft, which is the whole point gone.
