Notes
Traditionally Kokum is used for giving the sourness. But because Kokum is not available easily everywhere, I have used Tamarind. If you have kokum, use it instead for authentic flavor.
2. The cooking time of prawn depends on its size,so judge it accordingly. Cooking prawns for too long results in rubbery prawns.
