Steps

40 minutes

1

Deshell, devein, and clean the prawns.
2

Prep: Cut onions and tomatoes. Make a ginger-garlic paste.
3

Crush some plain garlic and cut green chillies.
4

Heat butter in pan.
5

Cook onions until translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste. Cook until onions are brown.
6

Add tomatoes. Add salt and turmeric. Cook until completely soft.
7

While the tomatoes cook, there's the optional choice of making your own coconut milk. Take 1/4 fresh coconut. Blend it. Add 1/4 cup of water. Blend again
8

. Strain the mixture to get coconut milk.
9

Add cashew nuts. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
10

Take ice cold water in a blender. Put the tomato-onion mixture and blend it all.
11

Heat a pan with a little oil. Cook prawns until pink. Optionally, one can add spices given in the second ingredients section while doing this, but since we're adding garam masala to the curry, it isn't necessary.
12

Heat a pan with oil. Add the crushed garlic. Cook until transparent or it starts sticking to the bottom. Add cumin and green chillies. Let it cook for a minute. Now add curry leaves. Wait until the sputtering stops.
13

Add the tomato-onion mixture. Let it cook for a minute until you see a little oil on top.
14

Add coconut milk. Add prawns. Cook for 5 minutes. Add chilli powder and coriander powder. Cook for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust. Taste prawn too to see that it's cooked, but don't overcook it (it must be C-shaped not You-shaped by the end).
15

Add garam masala. Dice coriander and add it.
16

Serve with rice. Garnish with lemon wedges.
