Prawn Kondattam is a flavorful and spicy South Indian dish. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare Prawn Kondattam:
Ingredients:
– 250 grams of cleaned and deveined prawns
– 1 tablespoon red chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 teaspoon coriander powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin powder
– 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
– Salt to taste
– Curry leaves
– 2 tablespoons coconut oil
– Water
Instructions:
1. Marination: In a bowl, combine cleaned prawns with red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cooking: Heat coconut oil in a pan. Add curry leaves for extra flavor. Add the marinated prawns to the pan and cook on medium heat.
3. Simmer: Allow the prawns to cook and absorb the flavors. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
4. Water: If needed, you can add a little water to prevent the prawns from sticking to the pan. The water will also help create a thick masala coating.
5. Cook Until Dry: Continue cooking until the prawns are well-cooked, and the masala becomes thick and coats the prawns evenly. Ensure that the water content is minimal.
6. Garnish: Garnish with fresh curry leaves and a drizzle of coconut oil for added flavor.
7. Serve: Prawn Kondattam is now ready to be served. It pairs well with steamed rice or as a side dish with your main course.
