3. The next step involves making a gravy sauce which you will be adding to your prawns later.
4. To make the gravy sauce, sauté diced onions, ginger, garlic and add to a heated pan with oil. While being sautéd, add turmeric powder and chili powder. The quantity of chili powder can vary according to the person. If you want to make a spicy curry, add a bit more chili powder.
5. Once the gravy sauce is done, add in the marinated prawns and let it cook for a few minutes. Add some vegetable stock later into the pan.
6. Have some tomatoes cut into wedge shapes ready to be added to the dish. Wait approximately 5 minutes and then add the tomatoes followed with capsicum rings. Cook until well done.
7. After it’s done cooking, serve in a bowl and add a few coriander leaves as garnish.
8. Your prawn curry dish is ready to eat! Tastes best with some steamed white rice.
