Prawn-Coconut-Curry-Recipe

METHOD:

Clean and wash prawn well, marinate with ingredients listed under to marinate and keep aside until required. Or you can also marinate it for 1-2 hours if you have time but by the time we required prawns it's good more than 30 minutes. Grind coconut with 2-3 tbsp of water.

Finely chop onion, tomato, coriander seeds and slit green chili.

In a pan or wok heat oil add onion, curry leaves, green chili, ginger-garlic paste and saute until onion becomes soft. Cook in medium flame with regular stirring for around 6-7 minutes or until onion becomes golden brown.

Add red chili, coriander seeds and turmeric powders and mix well. Add tomato, stir cover and cook until mashed gets almost mashed for around 7-8 minutes in medium flame with regular stirring.

Now add cumin, cloves, cinnamon, garam masala, nutmeg powder and give a stir. Add marinated prawns stir and cook in medium flame until prawn gets cooked around 15-20 minutes, do stir regularly.

Water from prawns itself is enough to have thick curry consistency, if you wish add 1/2 to 1 cup water

Add coconut paste, salt and mix well. Simmer for 5 minutes in slow flame, garnish with coriander leaves and off flame

Serve with steamed rice, I also made Broccoli Beans Stir fry along.

Notes

If you don't have nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon powder increase garam masala to 1 or 1.5 tsp.

This curry is on spicy side so adjust chili powder to suit your needs.

You can also add 1/2 cup coconut milk along with coconut paste.

You can add little tamarind pulp/water also if you prefer tangy taste.
