Prawns in Coconut Masala
Number of Servings:
6This recipe can be served as an appetizer. On its own, the masala goes well with naan or rice. Prawns cook very quickly — 2-3 minutes on average — so watch them closely to avoid overcooking them.

- Stir in tomatoes, coconut milk, vinegar, chilies and the remaining 1 tsp. of salt. Cook for 5 minutes, or until tomatoes are cooked through.
