5 steps- 1
To make the spice paste, place the chillies, garlic, ginger, peppercorns, cumin and coriander seeds and turmeric into a food processor and blend until roughly chopped. Add the fresh coriander and mint along with the creamed coconut and blend again to form a smooth paste that still has a little texture.

The paste will be quite thick at this point, so add just enough water so that it will coat the prawns. Toss the spice paste and prawns together in a bowl. You can leave to marinate overnight, covered with cling film in the fridge, if you wish.

Heat a griddle pan until searingly hot. Meanwhile, making the dressing. Add the mint and coriander to a bowl with the lime zest (alternatively you could try using the zest of a lemon for the citrus note), then stir through the yoghurt.
