Pro Tips

  1. Instant Pot Prawn Curry - This dish can be made in the SAUTE mode in instant Pot in the exact way as mentioned below.
  2. Prawn - Prawn Cooks very fast (just about 3-5 minutes) and turns orange on cooking.Do not cook the prawn beyond this time. Also ,for a better looking dish - Keep the tail of the prawn on.
  3. Coconut Milk - The best coconut milk is the homemade kinds.It has an amazing flavour and taste.If you don't have the time to make it at home, buy canned or boxed coconut milk.The last resort should be the dried coconut milk powders.They have the least flavour but they can be stored for longer and are very handy!
