Ingredients

• 500 grams Medium-sized prawns (peeled and deveined)
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 large Tomato (finely chopped)
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 200 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning the prawns. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped tomato and cook until it becomes soft and blends with the onion mixture, about 4 minutes.

Step 5

Lower the heat slightly and add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to release their flavor.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and 200 ml of water. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth sauce. Let this simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the prawns to the sauce, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.

Step 8

Stir in the garam masala and salt. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or flatbread. Enjoy your flavorful prawn curry!
