http://i52.tinypic.com/288nxar.jpg

500grm king prawns
4-6 tbsp oil
5 tomatoes
3 tbsp yogurt
½ tsp ajwain
1 medium onion ( fine thin cubes)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¾ tsp salt or to taste but better less!!!
½ tsp red chilli powder
2 pinches of turmeric(haldi)
3 green chillies
½ bunch of fresh coriander ( fine chopped)

-peel the tomatoes and take out seed of 3,
let the rest two with seeds and cut in thin slices
-heat the wok, sprinkle the ajwain and let splutter
-now fry in the onion cubes in it till light pinkish
-give in the tomatoes and let cook till soft
-add in the yogurt so it makes a thick gravy
-add all the spices, stir well on a low heat

-fry the prawns in 3-4 tbsp of oil in a separate pan,
on high flame so the water dries up quick
-sprinkle the lemon juice while frying,as they turn light pink,
add them into the tomato gravy
-let simmer and add the green chillies in the end
-garnish with fresh coriander

:we use less red chilli in it so that we can taste the prawns
:the green chili gives it a light hot taste
: I never use cumin,coriander or garam masala in it
-but its ur choice of course
