What goes into it
These numbers are worked out from a typical restaurant recipe, with the generous oil, butter and cream restaurants use, so one restaurant's version may differ. This version uses:
- Prawns (raw): 150 g
- Onion: 60 g
- Tomato: 60 g
- Cooking oil: 30 g
It finishes at about 300 g once cooked. Sharing it, or leaving the extra gravy, is the easiest way to eat less of the fat.
