Method
- To make the cauliflower rice, place cauliflower in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until cauliflower resembles rice. Do this in batches, if necessary.
- Place a large pan over medium heat; add oil and butter; stir in garlic and chilli and cook until fragrant. Add cauliflower, and cook, stirring occassionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender-crisp and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shallots, coriander and almonds. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside and keep warm.
- Next, combine cumin,turmeric, garam marsala, salt and pepper in a small bowel and mix until combined. Place the prawns in a seperate bowl; add 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture and stir to coat. Set the remaining spice mix aside for the curry sauce. Place the spiced prawns int he refrigerator until ready to use.
- Place onion, garlic, ginger and chilli in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped.
- Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion mixture and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until golden and aromatic. Increase heat to medium. Add remaining spice mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until aromatic. Add tomatoes and stock and bring to a simmer; cook for 5 minutes. Add lentils and sweet potato and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potato is just tender; add spiced prawns and kale; simmer for 5 minutes or until prawns are just cooked through.
- Once the prawns are cooked, divide the curry among serving plates; serve with cauliflower rice and lime wedges on the side.

The cauliflower rice can be made in advance and reheated when required. You can substitute brown basmati rice (cook according to packed instructions) for the cauliflower rice.
