Ingredients

½ pound prawns, peeled and deveined
sea salt to taste
½ cup grated coconut
4 Kashmiri chile peppers
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
3 cloves garlic, peeled
5 peppercorns
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, sliced
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 ½ cups water, or as needed
3 ounces okra (bindhi), cut into thirds
3 pieces kokum (fruit from the mangosteen family)

Steps:

Season prawns with sea salt.
Grind coconut, chile peppers, coriander seeds, garlic, and peppercorns together using a mortar and pestle until masala is evenly orange.
Heat oil in a pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix masala and turmeric into onion; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add enough water to make a substantial and smooth gravy.
Bring gravy to a boil; add prawns and okra and cook until prawns are cooked through and okra is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir kokum into prawn mixture and return to a boil. Remove pot from heat and let stand.
