The beauty of prawns is they take bare minimum time to get cooked. And I love such ingredients. Put them into the pan and by the time you are done checking messages on the phone, they are cooked.  This Prawn Masala Recipe is definitely not one of those serious type curries. This is pretty much the opposite end of the spectrum – so quick and simple to make. If you follow my recipe directions exactly, this honestly takes 30 minutes to make.  Unlike the South, it is tough to get hold of fresh seafood in Delhi. So for this recipe, I have used the best available frozen prawns. Hence, I escaped from the effort of peeling, cleaning, and deveining the prawns. How to defrost the frozen prawns? Soak them in the warm water for 5 – 10 minutes. Drain, pat dry and then use them as the recipe suggests.  Prawn Masala is one of those recipes I include in my Chettinad inspired Sunday lunch menu along with – Chicken Chettinad, Tomato Garlic Rasam, Steamed Rice, Papadam, and Lachha Paratha. Such a blissful combination of flavors! The best part about spending a few years in South India is the local flavors have grown within me. And now I love them to the core.
