How To Make Prawn Curry Recipe Without Coconut?
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Pound Prawns, De-shelled, Peeled, and Deveined (I used King Prawns)
- 1 Large Onion, Finely Chopped
- 3 cloves of Garlic, Minced
- 3 Tablespoon Fresh Grated Coconut (Optional) (I did not use this ingredient as it is not traditionally used. I find that it makes the dish a bit too sweet)
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Yogurt (Optional)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt + To Taste
Method
Step 1. Heat oil in a skillet, and fry garlic & onion until it begins to brown. Add in prawns and cook for about 5 minutes until the prawns are just cooked through. Do not overcook! Add butter beans and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook for a few more minutes (or until they are tender).
Step 2. Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, then turn the heat down to a low. Add lemon juice, salt, and seasoning (coconut, garlic, and yogurt).
Step 3. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy, like yogurt.
Step 4. Serve over rice or roti.
Everyone says I am crazy for not using coconut in my curry recipes. After making this curry, it took me a while to get used to it and enjoy the recipe without it. I did not use any coconut in this recipe because Indian cooks tend to use sweetened coconut in their curries and shrikhand recipes.
