Ingredients

• 500 grams Prawns
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large, finely chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece, minced Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 sliced, optional Green chili

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cleaning the prawns under running water and remove the shells if necessary. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Mix in the red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Stir well and cook the spices for another minute.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the prawns to the pan, ensuring they are submerged in the curry sauce. Let them cook in the sauce for about 5-7 minutes or until they are pink and opaque.

Step 7

Season the curry with salt and lime juice, adjusting to taste. Simmer everything together for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green chili, if using. Serve the prawn curry hot as a low-carb dish that can be enjoyed alone, or with a side of cauliflower rice.
