Do you put prawns raw into a chicken and prawn curry?

You can put prawns raw into a chicken and prawn curry, but it's not recommended. Here's why:

* Food Safety: Raw prawns can carry bacteria that can make you sick. Cooking them thoroughly ensures they're safe to eat.

* Texture: Prawns cook quickly. Adding them raw to a curry will likely result in overcooked chicken and undercooked prawns.

* Flavor: The flavor of prawns can be enhanced by gently cooking them separately before adding them to the curry.

Here's a better way to cook a chicken and prawn curry:

1. Cook the chicken: Marinate the chicken and cook it separately until it's almost cooked through.

2. Cook the prawns: Marinate the prawns and cook them separately for a short time until they turn pink and opaque.

3. Combine and simmer: Add the cooked chicken and prawns to the curry sauce and simmer until everything is heated through.

This method ensures the chicken and prawns are cooked to perfection and the curry is safe to eat.
