Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, add the ginger, garlic, chilies, turmeric, mustard seeds, garam masala, ground cumin and coriander.

Add the coconut milk, water, vinegar and sugar. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Add the potatoes, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes until almost cooked. Add the green beans, stir and cook for a further 5 minutes until the potatoes and beans are tender.

Add the king prawns and cook for 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Stir through the spinach until wilted. Add the lime juice, taste and season with more salt and pepper if you like.
