Ingredients

Directions

  1. Clean and devein the prawns, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a bowl, combine the prawns with chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to coat the prawns evenly.
  3. Place the marinated prawns in a pan over low heat. Cover and cook gently, allowing the prawns to steam in their own juices until the water evaporates and they are nearly cooked through.
  4. While the prawns cook, dice the onions into small pieces.
  5. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside. Add a tablespoon of oil to the same pan over medium heat.
  6. Add the cinnamon stick to the hot oil and let it sizzle for a few seconds to release its aroma.
  7. Add the diced onions to the pan and fry until they turn golden brown and caramelized.
  8. Return the cooked prawns to the pan with the onions and cinnamon. Toss gently and fry for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish generously with fresh chopped coriander leaves before serving.
