Method

To devein the prawns, I usually make a long slit from the head of the prawn to the middle of its spine and pull out the black vein but apparently.Rinse the prawns with a pinch of Turmeric.In a bowl marinate the prawns with lime juice(2 tbs) and a pinch of salt for 15-20 minutes.While the prawns marinate, over low heat, in a pan, pour oil(3 tbs), then sliced onions(1 large), grated ginger(2 tbs), curry leaves( a sprig), tomatoes (1 large)and sauté for 2 minutes until they become slightly brown.Add red chilli powder(1 tsp), turmeric(1/2 tsp), curry powder(1 tsp) and salt to season.Cook over medium heat until the ingredients come together as a thick paste making sure not to burn the spices.Cook over medium heat until the ingredients come together as a thick paste making sure not to burn the spices.Once the gravy is thick, drain the prawns of any liquid and add them to the gravy.Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and let the prawns simmer in the coconut milk for 10 minutes or just until they are cooked through.
