Description
Prawn Masala is a flavorful South Indian seafood dish made with fresh prawns simmered in a thick, spiced onion-tomato gravy. Popular in the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh, this semi-dry curry highlights the natural sweetness of prawns balanced by bold masala spices.
The preparation begins with cleaning and marinating the prawns in turmeric, red chili powder, and lemon juice. The masala base is made by sautéing onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and crushed garlic in coconut oil or gingelly oil. Ground coriander, black pepper, and garam masala are added for depth, along with curry leaves and fresh coriander for a fragrant finish. The prawns are cooked briefly to retain their tenderness and juiciness.
Prawn Masala is commonly served with chapati, parotta, rice, or idiappam, and remains a go-to dish for seafood lovers across Chennai, Kochi, and Madurai, as well as among South Indian families in Mississauga, Scarborough, and Edmonton.
