Method

Clean the prawns.

Grind together aniseed, cumin seeds, small onions, coconut, chilly powder and salt and make a fine paste.

Marinate the prawns in the paste and refrigerate for an hour.

Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions and curry leaves and fry till golden brown.

Add the marinated prawns to the pan and stir continuously to avoid getting burnt at the bottom of the pan.

Close the pan with a lid, so that the prawns get cooked.

Add more curry leaves and stir it well till the prawns are covered well with the masala.

Serve hot with white rice.

Note: The more curry leaves the better the dish will taste.
