1. Take a tender coconut (green coconut) which has started to form soft layers of coconut inside. Make a whole (2x2 inches) on the top keeping the cutout to use as a lid later. Drain out the coconut water inside into a separate bowl and keep the coconut aside.

3. Remove the prawns from shells and marinate with salt, turmeric powder and mustard oil(1 table spoon)

5. Cook the marinated prawns for 2 minutes in microwave and keep aside.

6. Heat oil(2 table spoon) in a pan. Add paste of onion, garlic, ginger, tomato and green chili

7. When the paste well cooked and all the water is released (approx 5 minutes), add the semi-liquid mustard powder paste and cook for 2 minutes

8. Add the microwaved prawns and cook till the gravy is thick.

9. Pour the entire content of the step in the coconut, and then add 4 cut green chilies.

10. Cover the cut portion of the coconut with the coconut lid.

11. Put the coconut in the microwave and cook for 10-15 minutes.
