Prawn Ghassi ProceedureHeat the coconut oil on a low heat, add the whole spices and let them splutter for 15 seconds.
Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until it becomes limp and starts to change colour. Stir in the ginger, garlic, green chilli and curry leaves and saute for 2 minutes. Add the pureed tomato, ground spices and some salt and saute until the oil separates from the mixture. Push a small bamboo stick through the length of each prawn to keep them straight while they are cooking.
Add the prawns to the mixture and stir-fry over a high heat for 2 minutes. Then add the coconut milk and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the coconut cream. Serve with rice. |
