Masala Prawns

~Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup freshly grated coconut
8-10 dry red chillies
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 teaspoon cumin seeds
8-10 cloves
1 stick cinnamon
2 tablespoon malt vinegar (you can use tamarind pulp, in the same quantity, as a substitute)
1 tablespoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon ginger paste
3 tablespoon oil
Salt as per your taste
Chopped coriander to garnish

~Method

Wash, clean and de-vein prawns. Apply a half teaspoon of turmeric powder to them and keep aside.

Soak whole red chillies in warm water for half an hour. Make a paste of cinnamon, cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, whole red chillies and coconut with vinegar.

Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped onions and cook for about five minutes until light brown. Add prawns and saute well until the prawns turn round. Be sure to saute the prawns gently.

Add ginger paste, garlic paste and ground masala. Add 3/4 cup of water and cook on a high flame for four to five minutes or until the prawns are tender. Garnish with chopped coriander.

Tip: Do not overcook prawns as they tend to become tough
