Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Marinate the prawns with salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, lemon juice; gently mix all the ingredients and leave it for 15min.

* Step 2

Add mustard oil in a wok and shallow fry the prawns and keep it aside. Remember, not to deep fry. Otherwise, the prawns will be hard.

* Step 3

Add some fresh oil in the same pot and add the whole garam masala-including cinnamon, green cardamom, cloves and black pepper. Sauté the whole garam masala until aroma is released. Add chopped onions and sauté for few minutes until soften. Further add salt, it will help to soften the onions faster. Add ginger, garlic and chilli paste, cook for a while until the raw smell goes off. Cover it for a while (around 2-3min).

* Step 4

Once you open the lid, you can see oil is surfaced. Add turmeric, red chilli powder and cumin powder and cook it further when you can see more oil is surfaced. Add fresh coconut paste, stir and cook for a while. Again, cover it with a lid for 5min.

* Step 5

Once the oil seperates out, it means that the masala is well cooked. Add 1 cup water to make a gravy. Once the gravy start boiling, add shallow fried prawns. Stir gently, and cover with a lid for 5 min.

* Step 6

Once the prawns become soft, add lemon zest, lemon juice and lemon leaves. Gently stir and cover a lid for 5min. At this moment, switch off the gas flame.
