Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and devein the prawns if not already done. Finely chop the onion and tomato, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the chopped tomato to the pan and cook until softened. Stir in coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the spices bloom.

    Add Prawns and Coconut Milk

    Add the prawns to the pan, stirring to coat them with the spice mixture. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 6

    Simmer the Curry

    Cook the curry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the prawns are fully cooked and opaque. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
