- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Incorporate the chopped tomatoes and curry powder, cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the spices meld beautifully.
- Add the cleaned prawns to the mixture and cook until they turn pink, roughly 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the coconut milk and add salt to taste. Stir well, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 10 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and the flavors deepen.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice or warm naan.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add chopped green chilies to the sautéed onions.
- Using fresh prawns will enhance the flavor, but you can also substitute with frozen prawns if fresh are not available.
- Serve with a side of mango chutney for a sweet contrast to the spicy curry.
