Ingredients
  • prawn/shrimp - 300g (Before peeling off the skin)
  • Fenugreek seeds - 1 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder - ½ teaspoon
  • Mustard seeds - ½ teaspoon
  • Onion - 50g
  • Garlic cloves 5 or 6
  • Curry leaves - Few
  • Thick tamarind juice - 50ml to 75ml
  • Thin coconut milk - 250ml
  • Thick coconut milk - 50ml
  • Curry powder - 1 ½ tablespoon
  • Salt - As you need
  • Cooking oil - As you need
Instructions
  1. Take the prawns, peel off the skin and rinse it well for at least 2 times.
  2. Get ready with turmeric powder, fenugreek seeds, and mustard seeds.
  3. Slice onions and garlic cloves. Also, take the curry leaves.
  4. Prepare 50ml to 75ml of thick tamarind juice.
  5. Also, prepare thick and thin coconut milk.
  6. Add turmeric powder and salt to the prawns. Mix well and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Heat the oil in a cooking wok. Add the mustard seeds and let it splutter. Then add the onions and fenugreek seeds. Fry them until the onions turn translucent.
  8. Add garlic cloves and curry leaves. Fry them for 1 or 2 minutes.
  9. Now add the prawns and mix well.
  10. Cook uncovered under medium flame until you feel the prawns get fry. For me, it takes about 7 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  11. Now, add thin coconut milk, tamarind juice, and curry powder.
  12. Mix them well and cook covered under high flame for 5 to 7 minutes.
  13. Finally, take off the lid and add thick coconut milk. Mix it well and cook covered under low flame for 3 to 5 minutes.
  14. Taste the curry and adjust salt if needed.
  15. This is how to make the delicious Sri Lankan spicy prawn curry at home. Serve and enjoy this simple yet tasty shrimp curry with your friends and family.
Notes
1. I instantly prepare coconut milk from grated coconut. If it is hard to find grated coconut use coconut milk powder or bottles coconut milk.
2. If you don't like more spiciness reduce the amount of curry powder.
3. I made a thick gravy curry. If you don't like thick gravy use more thin coconut milk or reduce the cooking time after you add the coconut milk.
