Prawn Curry is a beloved seafood dish from the coastal regions of South India, where fresh seafood is prepared
with aromatic spices and coconut-based gravies. At Deepam Chettinad and Indian Grill, we honor this tradition
by using fresh prawns and authentic spice blends that capture the essence of coastal South Indian cooking. The
curry begins with fresh prawns that are cleaned and marinated with turmeric and salt, then gently cooked in a
base of sautéed onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and fresh curry leaves.
The signature masala paste is prepared by grinding fresh coconut with roasted spices, including coriander,
cumin, fennel seeds, and red chilies. This rich paste is added to the curry base along with tamarind for
tanginess, creating a gravy that's rich, complex, and perfectly balanced. The prawns are gently simmered in
this flavorful gravy until they're cooked through but still tender, absorbing all the aromatic spices while
maintaining their delicate texture. The curry is finished with fresh curry leaves and a tempering of mustard
seeds and dried chilies, resulting in a dish that's deeply satisfying when served with steamed rice, dosa, or
parotta.
