How to Make Stir Fried Prawns with Coconut Slices

• Take water, gambooge, salt, sprig of curry leaves, turmeric powder and chilli powder in an earthen pot and keep on flame.
• Let the water boil so that the sourness of the gambooge blends in the water.
• Add the coconut bits and once the water reduces almost to half, add the prawns and mix well.
• Cover and cook till the water dries up.
• The prawns should be curled up and have a pink hue.
• Switch off the heat.
• Meanwhile heat another pan with oil.
• Add the curry leaves followed by onions.
• Saute till the onions wilt.
• Add the chilli powder and turmeric powder and saute for a minute.
• Now add the cooked prawns and mix well.
• Lower the heat and let it cook, stirring in between till the prawns turn nearly reddish brown.
• Adding an extra tbsp of oil will help it crisp up better.
• Serve hot.
