Steps 

1. Marinate the prawns and keep aside for 30 min.
2. Heat a kadai or pan and when hot add in oil.
3. Now add in the sliced onions and sauté it till they are golden brown. Add salt as it helps in easy browning.
4. Then add in ginger garlic paste, green chillies and curry leaves.
5. Now sauté for 1-2 minutes till the raw smell goes off.
6. Add in turmeric powder, black pepper powder, garam masala and chilli powder and sauté well till the oil separates from the masala. 
7. Now add prawns and mix well. Then add in coconut milk and cover and cook for 4-5 min.
8. Open to cook for 2-3 and let the coconut milk get absorbed well so that the dish gets a masala consistency and is not runny.
9. Switch off as overcooking will cause prawns to be rubbery.
