How to make Indian Prawns Curry

Quarter chillies lengthwise (seed and devein if you want less heat). Cook chillies, curry leaves, garlic, and ginger in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until very fragrant and chillies are just softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium and add spices, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Cook, stirring, until mustard seeds just begin to pop, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.

Add tomatoes and coconut, then cook, covered, until tomatoes are softened, 4 to 6 minutes.

Add prawns and cook, uncovered, stirring, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
