Instructions:

1. Marinate the Prawns:

  • In a large bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, red chilli powder, lemon juice, and salt.
  • Add the King prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2. Cook the Prawns:

  • Preheat a grill or a pan over medium-high heat.

  • Pour in the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the oil begins to separate.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the cream. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes.
