Fry onion until slightly brown, add garlic and sauté for a minute, add curry leaf and chillies. Then add chilli powder and cook for a minute. Add tomatoes, season with salt and add sugar if needed.

Cover and simmer until sauce thickens and tomatoes are fully cooked.

Add prawns to the sauce, bring to the boil and turn off heat. Garnish with coriander.
