Prawn Coconut Cream Curry: Recipe

This preparation goes in the name of Prawn Malai Curry in the eastern part of India. It’s a typical coastal area recipe that uses both prawns and coconut. And it tastes heavenly. You can serve it with white rice.  

Wash the prawns. Mix salt and turmeric paste with the prawns and fry in a saucepan using mustard oil. 

Remove the prawns from the oil. Next, add the mustard seeds and curry leaves in the hot oil. 

Wait for 10-15 seconds. Then add the chopped onions to the oil. 

Once the onions turn reddish in colour, add the ginger and green chilly pastes into it. Stir the mixture for about 2 minutes. 

Now add salt, sugar, turmeric paste and Garam masala to the mixture and keep stirring for a few minutes. 

Next, add the fried prawns and fry well with the spices-n-herbs mixture in the pan.  

Add the coconut milk now. Turn down the flame of the gas burner. Stir so that the spices and herbs dissolve well in the coconut milk. The prawns will soak some milk. 

After 2-3 minutes, turn off the flame. 

Serve the preparation with white steamed rice.
