If you get the koftas right, this is the most simplest curry and very delicious. I have got the perfect red color because of dried red chillies.

Steps

60 minutes

1

Before we begin it's easier if we first get the the paste/chutneys ready.
2

For green chutney grind garlic cloves Ginger green chilli and coriander and make a thick paste.
3

To make the red chutney we first have to soak in the coriander seeds and red chillies for couple of hours and then grind it in the mixer. The first photo is an old one and the quantity is less. I'm using it here for reference.
4

Now make the onion tomato puree. Grind onion and tomato together in a mixer and make a paste
5

Now let's make the koftas. For that grind the prawns in a mixer. Do not make a fine paste. Add 2 tablespoon of green chutney to the praws mixture. Also add turmeric. red chilli powder and salt and mix well. As shown in the second picture, now keep aside 1 tablespoon of this mixture for the curry. To the rest of the mixture Add one or two tablespoon of corn flour and mix well
6

Now to fry the mixture into koftas balls - Take a kadhai for deep frying. Heat oil in it. The prawns mixture is little sticky and it is difficult to make round balls so here you take a teaspoon of the mixture and release it in the kadai for frying. Once the koftas are fried, we move to making the curry
7

For curry, heat 3 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add the onion tomato paste in it and mix well. Try this paste for 2 minutes and immediately add green chilli paste red chilli paste and the one tablespoon of prawns mixture. Add one tablespoon of garam masala. And salt to taste. Fry this paste well for the next 5 mins and close the lid.
8

Next add a two glasses of water. Close the pan lid and let it boil for another 5 mins. Cook this on a medium flame
9

For coconut milk you can either buy directly from the store or you can prepare it from a grated coconut. All you have to do is grind the grated coconut in a mixer with good amount of water and then strain the mixture to get the coconut milk.
10

Finally add coconut milk and mix well. After a minute or two add the koftas and close the pan lid for another 5 mins. Cook this on a slow flame

Our prawns kofta curry is ready. Serve with rice and naan/roti
