Notes
- Marination Time – Let prawns rest for at least 30 minutes for deeper flavor absorption. The more it marinates, more the flavor and taste.
- No Water for Marinade – Avoid adding water while marinating to retain the spice coating to the prawn.
- Don’t Overcook – Prawns turn rubbery if overcooked. Cook only until soft and juicy. This just take just few minutes.
- Sauté Gently – Use low heat while sautéing to prevent burning the masala to the bottom. And mix occasionally.
- Fresh Coconut – Use freshly grated coconut for best taste and aroma.
- Garnish Option – You can add a few coriander leaves for an extra fresh note before serving.
