Do not add water while grinding. Keep the paste aside.Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan and add the ground paste in it. Saute for 2-3 minutes on medium flame.After 2 to 3 minutes, add turmeric powder, red chili powder and sambar powder. Mix it well and let it cook for about a minute.

Cover and cook on low flame until the brinjal is well roasted.Once the eggplants are cooked, add prawns, tomato puree, tamarind water and salt to taste.Cover the pan with the lid and let it cook for 3-4 minutes as prawns don’t take much time to cook.Once the prawns are cooked, check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste.
