How to make Prawn Malai Curry

 

Thread the prawns (shrimp) on skewers. It will help them to retain its shape. Marinate prawns with turmeric and salt and keep them aside for at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, grind ginger, garlic and green chillies in a grinder and mix it with coconut milk.

Heat Mustard oil and then fry the shrimp. Fry till pink and cooked on both sides and keep aside (not more than 3 minutes).

In the same oil, add whole spices. Add the coconut milk mixture, mix well and simmer for 10 minutes. Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and sugar. Mix well and cook. Let it simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.
Add a little water if you don’t want thick gravy.

When you see the oil surfacing on the gravy, add the fried shrimp. Cook on low flame for 3-4 more minutes till the gravy thickens and becomes creamy. Add cardamom powder and little bit ghee.

Note:
If you do not have coconut milk, you can also use whole cream.
