Does anyone know how to get the flavour out of fenugreek? That is what gives curry that you buy ready made the “curry” flavour, but when I use the powder it doesn’t taste like anything? Do you have to leave it to marinade or something?

Thai Red Prawn and Mango Curry
Makes 2 servings
15ml tablespoon oil
1 spring onion, finely sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste (or according to taste)
200ml can coconut milk
250ml chicken stock
2 teaspoons fish sauce
350g butternut and sweet potato cubes
200g king prawns
1 teaspoon lime juice
150g mango cubes, diced
3-4 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
Directions
Heat the wok oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan, and fry the sliced spring onion for a minute, then add the curry paste.
Whisk in the coconut milk, chicken stock and fish sauce and bring to the boil.
Tip in the butternut squash and sweet potato cubes and simmer, partially covered, for about 15 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the prawns under running water to remove excess ice and tumble them in to the pan, letting the sauce come back to the boil. When it does, add the lime juice and diced mango and cook for another minute or so until the prawns are cooked through.
Sprinkle with the chopped coriander as you serve over plain rice or wide rice noodles, or even both.
