Background

To make this prawn curry we just need the basic ingredients that would be available in most Indian kitchens. To make the gravy flavorful, we need mild garam masala powder, curry leaves and coconut. I have used tiger prawns, you can use any variety. This recipe is very easy to make and delicious.
