Once the flavour comes add one sliced green chilli. Now add the prawns and coat them with oil on all sides and keep on sauting till it turns white.

In low flame add the mustard paste, turmeric powder and red chilli powder.

Saute for sometime and mix well then add the grated coconut and mix again.
