This is a typical East Indian Prawn Curry with lady fingers which make it even more tasty .We East Indians use a lot of vegetables with fish and meat there are so many combos of veggies which we add in fish n meat curries .
I have already posted one kanji curry recipe before in which we add bottle gourd and brinjals .We also make a awesome chilly fry with shrimps with the most bitter vegetable which is bitter gourd but the chilly fry taste simply wow and all those who hate eating bitter gourd otherwise fall in love with it eating this.. I will be posting it here someday.
Coming back to this curry its a simple prawn curry with ladies fingers in a coconut chilli based gravy it taste lovely with hot steamed rice and goes very well with handbreads(rice bhakri)too.

2 medium onions sliced
1/2 fresh coconut grated
1.5 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp tamarind pulp

Method:
Devein the prawns remove the shell and the tail but keep the head intact all the flavours lie in there.but if you wish too you could clean the prawn completely without keeping the shell.

Wow, this looks amazing. I'm from the U.S. and I'm not familiar with the term "lady fingers". Is this okra or "bhindi" (in Hindi)? I'll definitely have to try this recipe out, since I LOVE prawns. Mmm!
