Instructions: To begin making the Sungta Ambat Aani Tallel Sungta recipe, firstly we will prepare the curry.Devein the prawns and wash thoroughly. Apply a little turmeric powder and very tiny amount of salt to the curry prawns and keep it aside. Heat a little oil in a heavy bottomed pan and add coriander seeds and bydagi chillies. Cook for about a minute.Add this mixture along with coconut, peppercorns, tamarind and almost 1/4 piece of the given onion using sufficient water in a mixer grinder. Grind it and keep it aside.

After a minute add potatoes and red chilli powder. Mix, cook for a minute and add enough water to almost cover the potatoes. Cover and cook. When the potatoes are half cooked, add the prawns and mix. Add salt. Cover and cook till both potatoes and the prawns are cooked.Now add the ground coconut paste to it, mix and check if more water is required to bring the gravy to a medium consistency.
