    You can use "COCONUT MILK" instead of curd and it goes really well with Shrimp/Prawns.

    Hi Sarah I wish you all the luck and Yes it is true curd and Prawns are not the best combination like it is with chicken or mutton yet it tastes nice as this is how my wife makes it and we all enjoy it. You can take out the curd if you like. My wife says the curd only increases the gravy and gives a different tastes so it is really up to you. So happy cooking.

    Hi Sarah if you try it with salt water prawns you have to cook the masala before (stir fry for 10 - 15 minutes at least.then add the prawns and give it a quick cook and add the coriander and chilli at the end. If you cook the slat water prawns for long they become rubbery.
