Method:-

Wash and clean the prawns, retaining part of the head. Apply marinade.

In a deep pan, add 2Tbsp oil and saute the marinated prawns for a while until the prawns start to get cooked. Remove from oil and keep aside. In the same pan, add the ground paste and saute for a while till the raw smell is gone. Add the sauted prawns to this and cook for a while in open pan.
