My favourite curry of all. Try this recipe and you won’t be disappointed, so delicious yet so simple to make. The spices work so well with seafood and this curry is the super delicious.

King Prawns – shelled – 200gms
Ginger garlic paste – 1/2 tbsp
Red onion – 1 small or ½ medium sized one – finely chopped

Green chillies – 1 depending on your spice level
Fresh coriander leaves chopped -1 to 2 tbsp
Coriander powder – ½ tsp
Garam Masala – ½ tsp
Red chilli powder -1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder -1/4 tsp
Fresh curry leaves – 1 sprig or if using dry curry leaves – 4 to 5
Sunflower oil – 2 tbsp
Tamarind extract – 2 to 3 tbsp (soak an inch piece of tamarind in warm water and extract the juice)
Method:
1. Add oil in a saucepan and when it’s hot add onions, green chillies and fry until the onions are soft. Add curry leaves and mix.
2. Add ginger garlic paste and fry for a minute and then add tomatoes. Fry for 2 minutes or till tomatoes are soft.

4. Now add prawns and tamarind juice. Mix well and keep a lid on the saucepan and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on very low heat.
