Prawns / Shrimp Curry in Coconut milk

Prawns are my kids favorite among sea food.They love prawns not only to look at the tiny curled up ones but also love as there are no fish bones in it.This is a very old recipe from my draft which I almost forgot to post.This is a very simple and delicious curry that goes well with rice or even rotis too.Do try this out at home and enjoy !!
