Saute well and tip in chopped tomatoes give a quick mix till the tomatoes are mushy,then add in thin coconut milk and allow it to boil well.
Pour in the tamarind extract ,allow the mix the boil well or till its slightly thickened,then add in half cooked prawns along with garam masala,allow to boil for 2 mins.
Then add in pepper powder followed by thick coconut milk,after you add in coconut milk allow it to boil for 2 mins and finally add in chopped coriander leaves give a mix and ready to serve.

Yummy delicious Kerala style prawn is ready to serve:)
Notes:

Marinating the prawns with masala gives a nice flavour, sautéing the prawns initially is optional, you can skip that and add the prawns after you add tamarind extract, and cook the prawns not more than 
5-8 mins.

The original recipe called for kudampuli, i usually don't use that so replaced with tamarind.

Finally drizzle a tsp of coconut oil and allow the curry to rest for a while before serving.

Keep Smiling:)
