Notes:

Marinating the prawns with masala gives a nice flavour, sautéing the prawns initially is optional, you can skip that and add the prawns after you add tamarind extract, and cook the prawns not more than 

5-8 mins.

The original recipe called for kudampuli, i usually don't use that so replaced with tamarind.

Finally drizzle a tsp of coconut oil and allow the curry to rest for a while before serving.

Keep Smiling:)
