‘Prawns curry’ is a yummy dish which is so easy to prepare.  You can serve it with rice, pulao, chapathi, paratha, bread, appam or idiyappam.  If ‘kudampuli’ is not available, substitute it with tamarind paste or tomatoes.

Thin coconut milk – 1 cup

Thick coconut milk – 1/2 cup

Salt – to taste

Method

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds.  When it splutters, add the onions, ginger, green chillies and curry leaves.  Saute till the onions turn golden brown.  Now add all the spice powders and fry till the aroma comes out.  Add the thin coconut milk, kudampuli and salt.  Mix well and add the prawns.  Cook covered till done.  Open the lid and add the thick coconut milk.  Mix well and turn of the fire.  Serve hot and enjoy!
