Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Medium-sized prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 large Tomato (finely chopped)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 200 ml Water
Instructions
Start by cleaning the prawns. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped tomato and cook until it becomes soft and blends with the onion mixture, about 4 minutes.
Lower the heat slightly and add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to release their flavor.
Pour in the coconut milk and 200 ml of water. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth sauce. Let this simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the prawns to the sauce, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.
Stir in the garam masala and salt. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or flatbread. Enjoy your flavorful prawn curry!
