Looks and sounds delicious! Can you confirm what the second item on the Gravy Ingredients list is also onions? TIA
Hey Emily,
The second item on the gravy list is one medium chopped tomato.
Thanks,
Anita
Firstly Let me know what do I do with the 1 chopped Onion. Secondly Please add Tomato in the list of Ingredients. Last but not the least….kindly add how much water to add. With only 1/2 cup of coconut water what gravy can you expect.
You wasted my Rs. 200 Prawns. Kindly re-type with changes or delete the reciepy.
Thanks Anita this tasted great!
I didnt have any tamarind but I added lime for sourness and used dried fenugreek leaves instead of the seeds for the same reason. I was really impressed!
Next time I want to try it with the tamarind
:-)
Good recipe
Can the prawns be mashed and added back to the curry rather than leaving the prawns as a garnish?
Excellent recipie
