Instructions

Blend all the ingredients in Part I to form a paste. Heat 3/4 cup of oil in a wok or pan and sauté the paste until it becomes drier and fragrant. Transfer the sautéed paste to a cooking pot and add the ingredients from Part II. If the gravy is too thick, you can add a little more water. Allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes until the sweetness from the pineapple is released into the gravy
After that, pour in Part III and let it come to a boil for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the washed prawns and let it boil until they are cooked through. Turn off the heat and serve hot with a plate of rice.
