Making spicy prawns chutney - everyone's favourite (unless you are allergic)!

Prawns chutney is everyone's favourite - nothing beats the soft sweet prawns in a hot spicy tomato base, served with some hot hot roti! We don't make this often as Pranesh is mildly allergic to shellfish so avoids eating prawns or crabs but once in a while we do make it when we have some visitors over.
