Wash and clean the prawns well. Marinate it with little salt and turmeric powder and keep aside.

Heat the oil in wok. Add green chillies and onion. Fry them well. Now add the ginger garlic paste. Put very little tomato at this stage. When it’s fried well, add the marinated prawns, chilli powder,coriander powder, garam masala and half cup water. Taste the water and add salt accordingly as salt was already added while marinating. Cover with lid for 10 minutes till its cooked well. Keep a check as the prawn gets overcooked sometimes. It may become hard. Add the remaining finely chopped tomatoes and fry them for a couple of minutes. Once the oil separates and the prawn is cooked, add pepper if you want to make it spicy and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve it with rice or chapati.
