Clean and de-vein the prawns. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies to the onions. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell of garlic goes away.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.
Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well and let the spices cook for a couple of minutes.
Add the cleaned prawns to the pan and mix them with the spices. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the prawns begin to change color.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring to combine everything well. Bring the gravy to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the prawns are cooked through, and the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Sprinkle garam masala over the gravy and simmer for another minute.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of bread.
