Ingredients:

10-12 prawns

2 Tender coconuts

Half cup milk

A bowl of water

Oil

Two Teaspoons Lime juice

Turmeric powder 

Ginger-garlic paste

Red Chilly powder

4-5 Whole red chilly

Salt

Marination:

1. Clean and de-vein the prawns

2. Marinate it with turmeric powder, red-chilly powder, lemon juice and ginger-garlic paste.

Keep aside for 2-3 hours

Then shallow-fry the prawns until they turn yellowish-brown. Dont fry them too much as they may become hard in that case.

Method:

1. Peel the coconut flesh of the two coconuts and put it in a bowl with water and microwave it for about 8-10 minutes, depending on the hardness of the coconut flesh. It should be very soft once you take it out of the microwave.

2. Heat 4 spoons of oil in a kadai (wok). Add the ginger-garlic paste.
3. When it turns brown, add the coconut flesh (with the bowl of water) and boil it for 3-4 minutes in medium flame.
4. Then add salt, red chilly powder and whole red chilies. Boil for another 5 minutes or so in low flame.
5. Add the fried prawns. Keep boiling. If it becomes dry, add some more water.
6. Boil to a state such that the prawns are just visible. Then add the milk.
7. Boil in low flame for another 4-5 minutes until the it becomes a bit creamy.

It is ready to be served!
