My Tip: While I prepared this easy dish, I crushed a few pepper seeds and add to prawns while cooking. It enhanced the flavour of this dish. Also I cooked prawns, adding a little coconut milk powder. You can also substitute with second extract of coconut milk, or a table spoon of first extract coconut milk. You can also prepare potato stew in similar fashion. Just substitute prawns with potatoes, cut into small square pieces.
