500 grams raw prawns , peeled and deveined (thoroughly defrosted if using frozen)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped or ground to a paste in food processor
2 teaspoons garlic paste
2 teaspoons ginger paste
2 dried red chillies or 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 teaspoons whole cumin
2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
10 whole peppercorns
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 can coconut milk
Salt - to taste

1
Grind the red chillies (or flakes), cumin, coriander seeds and peppercorns to a powder.
2
I use a coffee grinder but a mortar and pestle is just as good.
3
Lightly toasting the spices on very low heat in a dry frying pan for half a minute before grinding enhances the flavour.
4
Heat the oil in a large wok.
5
When oil is hot, add onions and fry for several minutes on medium heat so they are cooked but not browned.
6
Add the garlic paste and fry for a couple of minutes, then add the ginger paste and fry for a couple of minutes.
7
Add the ground spice mix and fry for a couple of minutes, stirring well to ensure the mixture doesnt stick to the wok.
8
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for several minutes, stirring well.
9
Add a bit of water if the mixture is becoming too dry.
10
Add the can of coconut milk and stir well and cook for a minute.
11
Add salt to taste.
12
Add the defrosted prawns and mix well into the curry.
13
Cook for 4-5 minutes on high heat so that the prawns are cooked thoroughly but take care not to overcook, or they will become tough.
14
Serve with steamed white rice.
