- 1 teaspoon Garam masala

Directions
Step 1
Start by cleaning the prawns. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped tomato and cook until it becomes soft and blends with the onion mixture, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Lower the heat slightly and add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to release their flavor.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut milk and 200 ml of water. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth sauce. Let this simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Add the prawns to the sauce, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.
Step 8
Stir in the garam masala and salt. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Step 10
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or flatbread. Enjoy your flavorful prawn curry!
