The main ingredients are prawns and coconut milk, along with ghee or mustard oil, onions, turmeric powder, chopped green chilli, garlic paste, and ginger paste flavoured with spices.[6] To give the curry a bright red or maroon colour, 2 teaspoon of sugar can be added in mustard oil in which the curry has to be prepared.

Lobster malai curry is a variation of this dish.[7]


Preparation


The hard shells of the prawns are removed and marinated with sesame seeds and posto seeds (which are made into a paste). The prawns are then fried in hot oil along with onion, ginger, garlic, and stirred with turmeric and sugar and salt and coconut milk for a few minutes.[8]
