Clean the Prawns:

Ensure the prawns are cleaned, deveined, and washed thoroughly. Drain the excess water and set them aside.

Marinate the Prawns:

Marinate the prawns with a pinch of turmeric, half of required red chili powder and salt. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.

Heat the Oil:

In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter.

Sauté the Onions:

Add the finely chopped onions and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.

Add Ginger-Garlic Paste:

Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté until the raw smell disappears.

Cook the Tomatoes:

Add the chopped tomatoes. Cook until they turn soft and oil begins to separate from the mixture.

Add the Spices:

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala and cumin powder. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the spices are well combined.

Add the Prawns:

Add the marinated prawns to the mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the prawns are cooked through and have absorbed the flavours of the spices.

Final Touch:

Add Pepper powder and adjust salt to taste. Cook for another minute and turn off the heat.
