Are you craving some prawn curry? Then try this wonderful prawn Malai curry recipe! Prawn Malai curry is a famous and very popular Indian dish. Prawn Malai curry is usually served as a starter at lunch, dinner, or special events.

This recipe is absolutely simple and short and is only 7 steps (see below). In this recipe I have used marination, however, you may decide to skip marination.

My individual view is that marination increases the taste multi times. So, marinate the prawns where possible when you follow the preparation steps of this recipe.
