Method:

Place the chilli powder, fennel seeds, cloves, peppercorns and cinnamon stick into a shallow pan.

Dry fry for 1-2 minutes to release the flavour. Cool then crush the spices to a powder in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.

Heat the oil in a shallow pan; cook the garlic, ginger and onion for 2-3 minutes. Add the spices. Cook for a further 2 minutes.

Stir in the tomatoes and water. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the vinegar, sugar, prawns and seasoning. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until prawns are pink in colour.

Garnish with coriander leaves and eat hot with your fingers.
