Indulge in our luxurious Coconut Prawn Curry at Indian Spoon Restaurant, featuring fresh, succulent prawns swimming in a rich and creamy coconut curry. Inspired by the coastal flavors of Kerala, this dish combines the sweetness of coconut milk with aromatic curry leaves, traditional spices, and tender prawns. Each spoonful delivers a perfect harmony of flavors that will transport you to the beautiful backwaters of South India.
Our Coconut Prawn Curry is a celebration of South Indian coastal cuisine, particularly inspired by the traditional recipes of Kerala. We source only the freshest prawns, which are carefully cleaned, deveined, and lightly marinated with turmeric to enhance their natural sweetness. The foundation of this dish lies in our authentic coconut curry base, made with rich coconut milk that provides a creamy, luxurious texture while balancing the heat of the spices.
The preparation begins with tempering mustard seeds and curry leaves in coconut oil, releasing their aromatic essence. We then build layers of flavor with caramelized onions, fresh ginger-garlic paste, and a blend of traditional spices including turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander. The coconut milk is gently simmered with these aromatics to create a velvety curry base. Finally, the prawns are delicately cooked in this fragrant curry just until they turn pink and tender, ensuring they retain their succulent texture. Garnished with fresh curry leaves and coriander, this dish is best enjoyed with steamed basmati rice or appam (South Indian bread).
