  • Lightly fry the prawns (one minute on each side) and strain from the oil.
  • In the same oil fry the potatoes on low flame till they turn golden brown.
  • Always fry the prawns and then the potatoes. This will help the potatoes to catch the smell of prawns.

  • Add slices of green chilies as well.
  • Now add Cumin powder, Kashmiri Red chili powder, and half of the Bengali garam masala powder.
  • Adjust salt and turmeric powder as both have been added to prawns, potatoes, and cauliflower.
  • Cook for around 2 minutes.
  • Now add 3 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
  • Add fried potatoes and cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium flame till the potatoes are completely cooked.
  • This may take around 10-15 minutes depending on the quality of the potato.
  • Once cooked, add the fried cauliflower and also fried prawns and mix with the gravy.
  • Cook for five minutes and add Ghee and the remaining Garam masala.
  • The curry should be semi-runny. If needed adjust the water while cooking the potatoes.
