Shell prawns. Remove intestines by slitting the back. Wash
well in several lots of cold water. Drain and cut into small pieces. Slice
billings or green tomatoes and onions. Grind red chillies. Heat the fat. Fry a quarter or the slice
onions, curry leaves and lemon grass. Add minced prawns, the sliced billings or
tomatoes, the remainder of the onions, the ground red chillies, turmeric,
powdered cinnamon and clove and salt. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Then
add the coconut milk and boil until gravy is absorbed. Test for seasoning.
Remove from fire. Take out the leaves and use as filling.
N. B. A vegetable
or meat filling can be used instead of the prawns filling.
