I have always loved prawns and this is one dish, which passed down to me by my mum, I love this dish and can have it at any moment of the day with a steaming bowl of rice. Here is the authentic recipe of Prawn curry.

Ingredients:

• 500 grams of prawn, deveined, and smeared with salt and turmeric

• 1 Onion , chopped
• 1 Lemon Grass - optional
• Eggplant , cut into small pieces - optional
• 2 Potato , cut into small pieces
• 2 Tomato, cut into small pieces
• Tamarind (1 tbsp, not too much as the prawn has the sour taste)
• 5-6 tbsp of Curry Powder (Serbuk kari ikan)
• Salt for taste 

Grind paste:

• 1 small onion,
• 1 medium Tomato
• 2 cloves of garlic,
• 1 one inch piece of Ginger

(Grind them together with adding title water as the tomato kind of juicy. We do not need a smooth paste, blend just until you do not see any big chunks of garlic/ginger)

  

Preparation:

·    1. First need to fry the turmeric and salt smeared prawns in oil. Keep aside once half cooked. (2-3 minutes)
