How to choose Prawns Gravy

 

• Check Freshness of Prawns

  • Fresh prawns should have a mild sea smell (not strong or fishy).

  • Firm texture, not soft or mushy.

  • Shells should be glossy and not slimy.

• Select the Right Type of Gravy

  • Light Curry (onion–tomato based): Less oily, good for regular meals.

  • Coconut-based Gravy: Rich, creamy, goes well with rice (popular in South India).

  • Spicy Masala: Thick and flavorful, best for special meals with roti/naan.

• Balance of Spices

  • Avoid gravies that are too oily or spicy, as it may cause acidity.

  • Choose recipes with turmeric, ginger, garlic, and coriander – they enhance taste and improve digestion.

• Cooking Method

  • Steamed or lightly sautéed prawns are healthier than deep-fried ones.

  • Ensure prawns are cooked just right (overcooked prawns turn rubbery).

• Pairing with Meal

  • With rice → thinner gravy (coconut or tomato base).

  • With roti/naan → thicker masala gravy.
