Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 2 medium, pureed Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 200 ml Coconut Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Coriander Leaves
Instructions
Start by cleaning the prawns. Remove the shell and de-vein to ensure thorough cleansing. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the ginger-garlic paste to the onions and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Cook the spices with the onion-tomato mixture for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the cleaned prawns to the pan and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the curry to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, or until the prawns are fully cooked and tender.
Sprinkle garam masala over the curry, stir gently, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the prawn curry hot with steamed rice or naan.
