Prawn Gravy - Simple Version

Serves 1 - 2
I'm a big fan of sea food,being raised in a coastal town could be the reason for this.Chennai is really wonderful when it comes to buying fishes & prawns , we find so many fresh varieties of sea food brought right to our door step.The fish mongers go around on cycles with baskets fully laden with all types of small fishes ,hawking their wares.Well I've never figured out what exactly they say with their loud voices though:) And this applies to many hawkers.There's one in our area who's being selling Tender Coconut for years,but I still don't know what exactly he says.But the sound of their voices is something that I relate to being back at home in India:)I really miss having prawns here, back at home in India we have Prawns pretty often.I simply love prawns,but as hubby is allergic to them I hardly prepare any prawn dishes.Guess cooking for just yourself is not at all fun :) So on rare occasions when I really feel like eating prawns I make this quick fix.It tastes awesome with plain rice or rotis :)

You'll Need:
Prawns - 150 g(cleaned and deveined)
Onion - 1 medium (finely chopped)
Tomato - 1 medium(finely chopped)
Ginger Garlic Paste from - Ginger - 1" & Garlic - 5 - 6 cloves
Red Chilli powder - 1 -1.5 tsp
Fennel powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves -  2 sprigs
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp(chopped finely)
oil - 2 -3 tsp
salt as needed

Method:
-Heat the oil in a pan,when it heats up splutter the curry leaves .Add the ginger garlic paste and saute on medium flame until they are well browned,about 5 minutes.
-Add the onions and salt and saute until they are well browned.Add the tomatoes and mix well.Add the turmeric powder,Red Chilli Powder,Fennel powder,Coriander leaves and garam masala powder and mix well.Reduce the flame and cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the mixture oozes out oil.Check for salt.
-Add the Prawns and mix well.Add about 1/2 cup of water and let it cook on a low heat for  4 -5 minutes,just until the prawn is cooked.I used small prawns so they cooked real quickly and Prawns tend to turn rubbery on over cooking.
-Take it off the stove.This is a thick gravy,if you want it to be thin add more water before adding the prawns.
