Indian Prawns Curry

This authentic Indian prawn curry is a vibrant, high-protein dish that brings together the aromatic flavours of fresh curry leaves, mustard seeds and ginger. The base is built on succulent tomatoes and grated coconut, creating a light yet deeply satisfying sauce that perfectly coats the juicy prawns. It is a wonderful choice for anyone seeking a fragrant, nutritious homemade meal that does not compromise on spice or depth of flavour.

Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend feast, this seafood curry is naturally rich in protein while remaining incredibly fresh. The combination of green chillies and warm spices provides a gentle heat that balances the sweetness of the coconut. Serve it alongside a portion of fluffy basmati rice for a complete, balanced meal that feels truly indulgent.

How to make Indian Prawns Curry

Quarter chillies lengthwise (seed and devein if you want less heat). Cook chillies, curry leaves, garlic, and ginger in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until very fragrant and chillies are just softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium and add spices, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Cook, stirring, until mustard seeds just begin to pop, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.

Add tomatoes and coconut, then cook, covered, until tomatoes are softened, 4 to 6 minutes.

Add prawns and cook, uncovered, stirring, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
