Grind the poppy seeds, Salt, Green Chili together into a fine paste. Add water as necessary
Now, add the Mustard seeds and grind it till they break off. This will take just a couple of seconds. Do not grind it for any longer than this, or they will turn rancid and make your gravy bitter.
In a mixing bowl, add this paste. To this add the rest of the water, coconut cream and lemon juice.
Add the prawns to it and give everything a mix.
Pour this on your baking dish. Drizzle some Mustard oil on top. You may place a couple of Green Chilies as well.
Cover the dish with a clingfilm wrap. Poke a couple of holes through the wrap to allow the steam to escape.
Cook it for 5-7 minutes on HIGH Powder or 900W in your microwave oven.
Take it out and allow it to cool. Remove the clingfilm wrap. Serve.
