This is a simple yet delicious recipe made with indian spices & homemade Coconut milk. Prawn is slow cooked in onion tomato base gravy and addition of fresh coconut milk enhances the taste & texture to smooth & creamy masala. This dish can be served with hot steam rice which is simply irresistible. Whenever you doesn't feel like cooking elaborate dishes but still like to have a scrumptious meal for your lunch, then this is it.

My grandmother was quite popular in our village for her simple & basic cooking style. She never use market masalas all she want to add her own homemade masalas in the curry. She always taught me that cooking is a art, not everyone can do.

She just love to cook meat & fish dishes in clay pot which adds nice traditional flavours to the recipe. This prawn curry is simple yet delicious when served with steam hot rice. It doesn't contain any fancy ingredients, just simple Indian Masala which is easily available in the market. The gravy is neither thick nor thin but it's full of flavours due to coconut milk which plays the vital role to make this basic curry extraordinary.

Tips
  • If you want spicy curry, you can add extra red chilli powder.
  • You can also add coriander powder & jeera powder but I tried to keep it simple & basic.
  • I have used Kashmiri red chilli powder because it adds nice colour to the curry.
