Prawn Coconut Curry or Prawn masala with coconut is easy, delicious and spicy prawns curry. Prawn is something that is very regular at home compare to chicken at home now a days thanks to my brother whom love prawns and the fact that we get cleaned prawns in mustafa is a bless so I don't have to struggle with all the cleaning :) making my job faster. I normally make prawn masala cause that's something we really all love but this time I tried this prawn curry with coconut.


This curry I adapted from prawn masala recipe as baseline with few changes and addition of coconut, this curry is very spicy just how a good prawn curry should be according to us so if you don't eat spicy food reduce chilli powder according to your needs and enjoy the curry still.

This prawn (chemmeen/jhinga/eral) coconut masala is really delicious, you have to try to know what I'm talking about. Prawns with all the extra chili, coconut and spices makes a wonderful combination and goes very well with steamed rice or jeera rice. We as such don't have to make any side dish but I make broccoli beans stir fry along for a great weekend lunch.
