Mangalorean Prawn Curry Proceedure
Combine the ground paste, prawns, asafoetida powder and salt in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add water (to make a gravy of thinner consistency if desired) and mix well. Bring to a boil on medium heat.
Mix in the coconut oil and keep on low heat for about 15 minutes or till the prawns are cooked and the gravy is thick.
TIPS:
Coconut oil and asafoetida form the essence of the flavor in this curry; hence, they are an absolute must.
Any other oil will make a considerable difference in taste and would not be as flavorful.
The amount of asafoetida can be increased or decreased as per taste.
Mussels can be used in place of prawns.
There is an abundance of coconuts on the Mangalore coast, so naturally the Mangaloreans are liberal in using coconuts and simply love their gravies to be thick and spicy!
Serve hot with: plain boiled rice
