A popular seaside meal, prawn roast is spicy, aromatic, and very filling. Flavours develop subtly in the prawns as they stew in a mixture of slow-caramelised onions, roasted spices, coconut milk, and curry leaves. The meal becomes a hearty, reassuring dry-style roast as the masala clings to the prawns. This dish is sure to make a mark on your taste buds and your memories, whether you're enjoying it as part of a lavish coastal Christmas spread or a simple home-cooked meal.
