Now Let’s Get To The Recipe.
.
This Base Is Made Of Wheat Flour,Coconut Pulp That’s Basically The Residue When You Make Fresh Coconut Milk,Baking Soda 1/2 Tsp per cup & Salt.Mix The Same Quantity Of Flour & Coconut Pulp,Add Water & Form Into A Dough.Do Not Over Knead.Drizzle Some Oil,Cover & Let This Rest For Atleast An Hour.
.
Prep The Prawns By Half Cleaning Them:Leave The Tail & Head If You Prefer.I Just Had These Prawns Already Cleaned In My Fridge So Used Them As It Is.
Season The Prawns With Salt,Pepper,&Chilli Pwd
.
You Could Use Toppings Of Your Choice But These Are What I Used:

While The Dough Is Resting Make The Tamarind Chutney.You Could Even Make This Ahead.
You Could Even Use Leftover Gravy If You Prefer Instead Of Tamarind Chutney
