On Christmas Eve I like to have something with a little bit of spice, but at the same time suitable for the family. This year has been really tricky and many of us need to watch what we spend over Christmas. Here is an amazing family friendly Prawn Korma which is super easy to prepare and won’t cost the earth, in fact it comes in at under £3 per person and doesn’t compromise on taste one bit.
