Prawns Curry (Kolambiche Kalwan) - CKP Style

Special request for this recipe from Kenya! I promised my daughter it would not be very complicated - so here is a very simple recipe for prawns curry.

1 lb prawns - shelled, deveined
1 tsp ginger paste
1 1/2 tsp garlic paste
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp tamarind pulp

1 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves
tiny piece of cinnamon
1/2 cup grated coconut (blended with water) OR 1/2 cup thick coconut milk
chopped coriander
oil

Marinate the prawns with ginger paste, garlic paste, salt, chili powder, turmeric, tamarind pulp.
Heat oil, fry the chopped onion till translucent with the cloves and the cinnamon. Add the prawns, saute for a minute or 2 and add the coconut milk. Adjust seasoning. Bring to a boil just until the prawns are cooked. Garnish with chopped coriander.

Do not overcook the prawns - or you will end up with rubbery prawns. Serve hot with plain rice.
