Step 2.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the broccoli florets and sliced stalk, canned chopped tomatoes, ¼ teaspoon chilli powder, ½ teaspoon ground turmeric, and 250ml water. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer. Cook for 10–12 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

While the broccoli simmers, in a bowl combine the remaining 1½ tablespoons oil, ½ teaspoon turmeric, and the cooked king prawns. Toss to coat.

Place a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the prawn mixture and cook, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes.

Tip the cooked prawns into the curry along with 1 heaped tablespoon English mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir to combine, then cook for another 3 minutes.

Remove the curry from the heat. Scatter over the roughly chopped fresh coriander and drizzle with the juice of ½ lemon. Serve hot with rice and flatbreads.
