Instructions
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato puree and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Add coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to integrate the spices evenly.
Pour in the coconut milk, stirring continually until the mixture is well combined.
Add the green chilies, then let the gravy come to a gentle simmer.
Gently slide the prawns into the gravy and stir to ensure they are submerged.
Cover the pan and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through and opaque.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with lemon juice. Remember, this is a low sodium dish, so resist the temptation to add salt.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
