Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Cooking the prawns without a lid allows the excess moisture to evaporate, resulting in a thick masala.
  • Do not overcook the prawns; they are done when they curl into a 'C' shape.
  • Sautéing the onions until they are very soft is key to a smooth and clinging masala.
  • Adding a teaspoon of ghee at the end can elevate the richness of this simple dish.
