Ingredients
Prawns 100 gm
Coconut milk 100 gm (I make it at home from grated coconut)
ginger paste 1 spoon
garlic 2 pods
garam Masala 1 spoon
onion 1 large chopped
turmeric, salt
green chillies
Method
Step 1
Clean the prawns, mix it with turmeric and salt and keep aside for about ½ hour
Step 2
In a heated pan Saute the onions until translucent and grind to make a coarse paste.
Step 3
Heat oil in Kadai/Frying Pan Lightly fry the prawns so they turn golden in color, do not deep fry like other fish.
Step 4
As soon as the prawns turn a pale golden take them out put them on a paper towel.
Step 5
In the same oil, add the chopped garlic. As soon as the fragrance of the garlic rises, take out the garlic from the oil so that the oil is now garlic flavored but there is no garlic in the gravy.
Step 6
Add tejpata or bay leaves
Step 7
Coarsely pound the cardamom, cinnamon and cloves with a pestle and add them too.
Step 8
Add the onion paste when you see the whole garam masala crackling.
Step 9
Continue frying the onion with a little bit of sugar till it turns brown in color or the oil separates from the paste.
Step 10
Add the ginger paste and cook the masala.
Step 11
Stir and add the can of coconut milk
Step 12
Add a little water (about / of the can) in the can, mix well and add it too.
Step 13
Add Red Chilli Powder, very little turmeric powder and salt.
Step 14
Add the green chillies
Step 15
Mix well and cook the gravy. The gravy tastes best when you simmer it a low heat for about - minutes.
Step 16
When you see the oil surfacing on the gravy add the fried prawns.
Step 17
Cook on low for some more time till the gravy thickens and acquires a creamy consistency. Serve with hot rice
