Sauté well till oil clears on the sides of pan.
Add tomato ketchup, green chilli & prawns.

NOTE: Kashmiri chillies are less pungent & gives the dish a nice colour. If using ordinary chilli, cut down on the numbers.
I thought Kashmiri chillies were very hot.
ReplyDeleteNo. kashmiri chillies are very mild. In India the Guntur chillies & the Pandi varieties are very pungent
