  9. 9

    Add the chopped tomato, cumin powder, turmeric powder and salt. Keep stirring until the tomato blends.

  10. 10

    Now, pour the poppy-mustard gravy and stir well.

  11. 11

    Add 1 cup of warm water, mix well and cover the lid. Lower the flame and bring it to a boil.

  12. 12

    Open the lid and slowly add the prawns and potato, mix well with the gravy. Check the salt (if less, add some more) and cover the lid again.

  13. 13

    Lower the flame and cook it for 10-15 minutes or until the prawns get cooked well.
