Ingredients:

Prawns
turmeric (optional)
chilli powder
Make a paste together of — garlic, coriander leaves & green chilli in vinegar
mustard oil
salt
dry red chilli
sliced onion
sugar
ghee
cherry tomatoes

Method:

I had already marinated the prawns with turmeric & chilli powder, before I got hold of the recipe. One can easily cook without turmeric though.
Make a paste of garlic, coriander leaves & green chilli in vinegar.
Heat mustard oil & add dry red chilli & sliced onion.
As the colour turns translucent, add the paste & fry till the raw smell goes off.
Add the prawns, mix well & cook till the prawns are fully cooked.
You can add more chilly powder, salt and other seasonings at this stage, as per taste.
Add a bit of sugar to balance the tangy vinegar.
As oil starts to separate, add a dollop of ghee, mix well.
Garnish with cherry tomatoes & serve.
