Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 120 grams Tomato puree
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by prepping the prawns; ensure they are peeled and deveined. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion to the skillet, cooking until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic, and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the tomato puree to the onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens and the raw tomato scent disappears.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut milk, and stir well to incorporate. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Add the curry powder, ground turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring everything together until mixed evenly.
Step 8
Introduce the prawns to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the gravy. Cook the prawns for about 5-6 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Step 9
Stir in the lemon juice and fresh coriander leaves, reserving a few leaves for garnishing.
Step 10
Simmer for another minute, then remove from heat. The gravy should be slightly thick and aromatic.
Step 11
Transfer the prawn gravy to a serving bowl, garnish with the reserved coriander leaves, and serve hot.
