ABOUT Prawns in Coconut Curry RECIPE

This curry was invented due to sheer trial. Usually, my prawn curry is copycat of my Mom's recipe, but this was created mainly because I ran out of onions which is what my mom includes in hers. So rather than making something else of prawns, I decided to go ahead and make the curry my way. It turned out to be very very tasty.
