Kerala prawns curry is the traditional Kerala shrimp curry. The very own way of making a curry in Kerala style is using coconut oil cooking. It brings in an authentic touch with lots of curry leaves and coconut together. These are the main ingredients.

Ingredients

Prawn - Always use clean and deveined prawns. You may use Tiger Prawns or Shrimp also.

Ginger Garlic paste - This is an ingredient that is definitely not to be missed. It adds so much flavor to the curry. You may use ginger garlic paste or crushed ginger and garlic too.
Spice Powders - I am going with the basic spice powders like Red Chilli powder, Garam Masala, Pepper Powder, and Turmeric powder. If you prefer a bright red color you may use Kashmiri Red Chilli powder.Coconut Milk - makes the curry really flavorful. You can use fresh or canned coconut milk. Do not cook for more than 2 mins after adding coconut milk.
Garnish - a fistful of finely chopped coriander leaves and a sprig of curry leaves.

Tempering Ingredients - Just the basic mustard along with curry leaves. Using coconut oil is a game-changer so do not skip it.

Curry Leaves - I usually add curry leaves while tempering the curry and while switching off. They blend well with the curry and give a nice aroma.

1.In a heavy-bottomed pan or Claypot add coconut oil. Once it heats up add mustard seeds let it splutter then add curry leaves and green chili. Saute for a few secs.
