Prawns is one of the most tempting coastal food across the world. This Prawn curry is prepared in the traditional style in an earthen pot.

It is important to clean the prawns. The vein like string appearing in a prawn is actually its internal organs and intestine. If not cleaned it may leave a bad taste and it is unhealthy.

Here is a traditional prawn curry in coconut milk, an easy dish that takes only 30 minutes to prepare. This curry tastes great with rice, appam or bread. I am dedicating this recipe to all prawn lovers.
