Heat a tsp of oil and fry the prawns for 2 minutes adding some curry
leaves. I have used small prawns which does not take much time to cook.
Remove and keep aside. In the same pan heat 2 tsps of oil and splutter mustard
seeds. Now add curry leaves and ginger-garlic paste and fry till golden brown.
To this add sliced onions and cook till golden brown. Add tomato and the
rest of the red chilli powder, garam masala and salt and stir continuously till
tomato becomes soft.
Add little water and the fried prawns to it and cook for 5 minutes covering
with a lid.
Switch off the gas as soon as the water gets dried up. Serve hot.
Note: Instead of onion you can add half a cup of chopped shallots
Instead of tomato, you can add lemon juice or kokam( kudampuli). If you are
adding lemon juice, add it at the time of marination.
