Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Heat Oil and Temper Spices

Add coconut oil to a pan and heat it. Once hot, add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then, add a pinch of fenugreek seeds and a few curry leaves, stirring briefly.

Step 2: Sauté Shallots and Coconut

Add 20 sliced shallots to the pan and stir until they begin to soften. Add salt to taste and mix well. Next, add 1/4 cup sliced coconut and continue to sauté until the shallots turn light golden brown.

Step 3: Add Aromatics and Turmeric

Add 2 pieces of sliced chilli and mix. Then, add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and mix until well combined. Incorporate 15 cloves of sliced garlic and 1/2 piece of crushed ginger, sautéing until aromatic and the shallots are golden brown.

Step 4: Cook Dry Spices and Tomatoes

Add 2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tsp pepper powder, and a pinch of cumin powder. Mix thoroughly and cook the spices for 1-2 minutes until their raw smell disappears and the oil starts to separate. Add 2 small chopped tomatoes and mix, cooking until the tomatoes soften and break down, forming a thick gravy base.

Step 5: Add Tamarind and Water

Add 1/2 piece of Malabar tamarind (kudam puli) to the gravy and mix. Pour in 1 cup of hot water and stir to combine all ingredients. Bring the gravy to a boil.

Step 6: Cook Prawns

Add the prawns to the boiling gravy and stir gently to coat them. Cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until the prawns are cooked through and the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 7: Finish and Serve

Drizzle a little more coconut oil over the top for added flavor and aroma (optional). Serve the Prawns Roast hot with rice.
