Prawns with Ambazhanga Gravy

Ingredients:

3 cups of shelled, cleaned small prawns
1 cup of ambazhanga cut into bite sizes
1 small piece of kudampuli (depends on the variety of ambazhanga. Ours is not that sour and so I add one small piece of kudampuli as a backup)
1 sprig of curry leaves
3 tablespoons of Corainder powder, 2 tsp of chili powder, ¼ tsp of turmeric powder. Make it a paste
1 tbsp ginger diced, 6 pods of garlic diced, ¼ cup of shallots or onion diced.

Preparation:

1. Add everything mix well with salt and add 2 cups of thin coconut milk.
2. Boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Then just before taking off from fire, add ½ cup of thick coconut milk. Take off from heat.
3. Heat 2 tsp of oil, sauté 1 tsp of thinly diced shallots, 1 sprig of curry leaves, 2 red chili split. Add to the curry.
4. Serve hot with rice.
5. For curries with coconut milk, storing and reheating destroys the real flavour. So always make them in small batches.
