My friend sent me some fresh water prawns the other day and also shared a lovely recipe of prawn curry. It was pretty quick to prepare and it turned out amazingly good with well balanced flavors redolent with the sweetness of coconut and subtly spiced. Curry leaves, khus-khus and coconut form the essence of this pasty textured prawn curry (almost like a stir fry dish).

Hi Sailu, Can u post a recipe for any dips which will go well for chips or other starters? pri Reply 4. sandeepa says: June 4, 2007 at 12:29 pm Slurrrrrrp..I am a big time prawn fan and this look so so good Reply 5. Meena Kandlakuti says: June 4, 2007 at 12:46 pm Hi Sailaja! this looks yummy!..You know I never had prawns before my marriage, though, my parents insisted a lot i never had them. I just used to hate them a lot. But after marriage my dear hubby who stays far from kitchen (occasionaly comes to kitchen to share that and this abt food and his experiences), had cooked for me once, just to make me realize that they taste great. Not to hurt him, I had them. From then onwards I cook as well as eat them:-) Thats a small story. Next time when we get shrimps (prawns), I will try this recipe. Thanx for sharing:-) Reply 6. Nabeela says: June 4, 2007 at 1:17 pm Hi Sailaja. I was wondering why you boiled the shrimps separately before adding it to the currymy grandmother-in-law did the same when I was observing her cooking in India. People here add shrimps to the curry itselfthat way it doesnt overcook and become tough. Is there a particular reason people in India go the boiling process way? Reply 7. Mamatha says: June 4, 2007 at 5:53 pm Sailu, I simply MUST try this dish cant wait to buy prawns to make it. I usually like to pair dry non-veg dishes such as this with rice and sambar. Reply 8. Maninas says: June 4, 2007 at 6:21 pm Wow, this is absolutely mouth-watering! I shall have to try it. It would work fine with sea prawns as well, wouldnt it? Thanks. Sure it will, Maninas.

Reply 9. Cynthia says: June 5, 2007 at 9:21 am Prawns I obsess about them. Could eat them everyday and never get tired of it. Ive had it curried before but never with coconut so I am definitely going to try it this way. Sailu, your pics always look so mouth-watering. Reply 10. laxmi says: June 5, 2007 at 1:40 pm This curry doesnt need any ginger and garlic paste? Today I am thinking of making shrimp curry. I have precooked shrimp so this recipe will best suit to make your shrimp curry. It doesnt need ginger garlic paste, but garlic is one of the ingredients required. Reply 11.

I am writing from Sharjah, UAE. I have been visiting your website for the past 2 yrs and I found them interesting. I have a doubt with respect to this Royalla Mudda kura recipe. In the ingredients list you mention 4-5 garlic flakes and when responding to Laxmis recipe you say that only ginger should be used. could you pls clarify as to which one I have to use. Thanks a lot, Esther. Sorry, Esther, it should read garlic and not ginger. I have corrected the typo. Reply 21. Esther Aruna says: September 21, 2008 at 9:42 am Hi Sailu Thank you for your immediate response. Much appreciated. Sincerely speaking never expected reply from you. Thanks once again. Will try it out and let you know. Have a great day. Esther Reply 22. Nafisa says: November 30, 2008 at 6:43 am Hello , I am a starter in cooking prawns and only cook one masala fry dish which i know i want to try some other desi prawn curry recipe and i know no other to trust except your blog tried , tested and delicious ( with previous experience with your recipies i must say!) i wuz wondering i dont get poppy seeds here where i live is this absolutely a very important ingredient in this recipie to get it as delicious? please reply as i would definitely like to try it! and also if the stpe to preboil the prawns is necessary and why not just add it direct to the gravy so the flavours infuse n the prawns is not over cooked . Awaiting a response thanx Poppy seeds are important but then you could omit it and still try the recipe. Replace poppy seeds with some almond pwd, maybe a tbsp. Yes, you could directly cook the prawns in the gravy and remember its a semi dry dish. Reply 23. pannaga says: December 19, 2008 at 4:58 pm Hi Sailu, I am mailing you from London and am a regular visitor of your blog. this is one of my husbands fav dish, he loves it. Its so quick and simple. thanks for posting sailu. Merry christmas and a very happy new year. With Lov
