Put the tamarind paste in a small bowl with the chilli powder, ground cumin, turmeric and hot water. Stir well to combine and leave to one side.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok, add the spring greens and garlic and stir-fry over a medium heat for a minute or two.

Add the prawns, ginger and fresh chilli and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

Add the tamarind water, extra water and coconut milk, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes, until the prawns are cooked through.

Add the chopped coriander and season with salt to taste. Squeeze over a little lime juice to serve. Serve with boiled basmati rice.
