Prawn in Coconut Curry...

My late grandma used to cook this curry in a clay wok...Uishhhh...tastes very good, seriously...
Being in a modern world, we've adapted to a new living style...so cooking in clay woks is very rare except in some villages or maybe few mothers still use clay pots to cook...;)


Today, I cooked this curry using a non-stick wok only lah! hehe...no clay woks ah...tastes good still though no fight to my grandma's.


I called up my mum this morning to refresh the recipe...hehe, actually I've forgotten the method of cooking it...so she helped me over the phone while I jotted it down...:)


Worait...here's the recipe! Some may already know how to cook this curry...for some who have not tried this curry before...why not give a try..:))

  4. Now, put the tomatoes in. Add coconut milk, mixed curry paste, tamarind slices and salt. Mix together and leave it to boil. (U may add some water if u find the curry is too thick, as for me I liked it real thick)

That's it! This curry goes well with steamed rice n breads too...;;)
