Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Firstly, grind the soaked Mustard Seeds, Salt & Green Chillies scrape down the sides of the mixer-grinder & add a little water to it- if at all needed

* Step 2

Blend it into a fine & smooth paste- it should feel absolutely smooth when, rubbed in between the fingers

* Step 3

Now, in the same mixture- Blend in, the Coconut Sugar & Turmeric Powder (scrape well the sides of your mixer-grinder bowl again)

* Step 4

Transfer this fine & Smooth paste/ mixture entirely into a microwaveable bowl then, add into it the measured plain yoghurt

* Step 5

Blend & Mix it well with a spoon and now, is the time to add in the Prawns to it...

* Step 6

Again, with the help of the spoon mix everything well enough- coating the very mixtures entirely to the body of the prawns

* Step 7

Lastly, add on the measured Mustard Oil- Again, mix it very gently with the spoon slit 2/3 more (extra) green chillies to put it on it's top before covering it

* Step 8

Then, cover the bowl with a plastic cling film wrap or in case, your bowl has it's own lid to cover it up- In my case, I’ve used my microwaveable casserole dish lid only☝🏻(refer the pics)

* Step 9

Time to microwave it for about 10 mins. in the steam mode & then, check it out once...if done perfect if not then, again put into the same mode for another 2/3 mins. This is due to each & every microwave temperature settings & rest other mechanisms, slightly differ from one another
