Prawn Curry

After marriage I was in Pondicherry (Coastal Union Territory) for 4 years, so started cooking seafood. We used to get fresh fish, prawn & crab from the  fish market.
I learnt most of the seafood dishes from my chithi. This dish is also from my chithi's cookbook. I had prepared this dish with frozen prawns twice before, but it did not 
taste as my chithi's preparation. Last week I tried with raw fresh prawns & it tasted very much like my chithi's prawn curry.
