Clean and devein the prawns and set them aside. In a pan add in Coconut oil. Once it heats up add in 1 tsp of Mustard Seeds and 1 tsp of cumin seeds. Let it Splutter and then and in Curry Leaves.
Next add in finely chopped onions and fry till glossy. I am using 2 big onions. Chop finely and then add.
Next add in 1 tbsp of crushed ginger and garlic. Saute till the raw smell leaves
4 Now add in 1 big chopped tomatoes cook till they leave oil
Add in 1 tsp of Chilli powder, ½ tsp of pepper powder, ¼ tsp of Turmeric Powder, 1 tsp Garam Masala, and salt to taste.
Sprinkle 1 tbsp of water and cook for a minute.
Mix well and then add in the cleaned prawns.
Give a good stir so that the masala evenly coats on the prawns. Close the lid and cook on a medium flame for 2 mins. Prawn will start leaving water and cook. Open the lid mix well and cook for another 3 mins. Check for salt and spice and add if anything is less
Switch off the flame. Tasty prawn masala is ready. Add in lemon Juice and garnish with coriander leaves.

Notes
Tastes good with steamed rice .
Cooking with coconut oil is a must to get the flavour so don’t skip that.
The masala can be just mixed with rice and had without any kuzhambu.
