    Hi Guys…Here is a suggestion for the coconut milk ….You can cook the prawns with 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk and ground masala (desciated coconut & Rice). Otherwise add about 1 1/2 cups of hot water and cook the prawns. Once they are almost cooked add coconut milk and curry leaves and cook for sometime until the gravy is thickened..
