Method
Heat the oil in a large saute pan or wok, then add the mustard seeds. When they start to pop, add the curry leaves. Fry for a minute to infuse the oil, then add the onions, ginger and garlic. Cook over a lowish heat for 5 minutes, then add the chilli powder, turmeric and coriander. Cook the spices for a minute or two.
Add the tomatoes, coconut cream and milk. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice and palm sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the prawns just before serving, as they only take a few minutes to cook. Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs and serve.
