Ingredients:

450g whole prawns (with shells)
5 green chillies, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 small bunch of spring onions (green parts only), chopped
1 small bunch of coriander leaves, chopped
2 tsp ginger and garlic paste
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 tsp hot chilli powder
1 tsp ground turmeric
8 tbsp oil
2 tsp Garam Masala
salt, to taste
chopped coriander leaves, to garnish

Method:

Clean and shell the prawns. Reserve the shells and add to a wok along with the oil. Cook for about 4 minutes then remove the prawn shells with a slotted spoon and discard (you will be left with prawn-flavoured oil).

Add the green chillies and onions and stir-fry until the onions turn golden. Now add the spring onion greens, coriander leaves and the ginger and garlic paste. Fry for 2 minutes before adding the tomatoes and prawns. Continue cooking for about 5 or 6 minutes, until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through. Season with the salt, chilli powder and garam masala. Cook for 5 minutes more then turn into a serving dish and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Serve accompanied with rice.
