Kerala Prawn Pasta is a dish where the aromas of Italy and South India come together in an innovative way. This prawn recipe takes inspiration from traditional prawn linguine and adds flavours from the coastal regions of Kerala. It calls for a coconut oil tadka, curry leaves, blossoming mustard seeds, and, for an extra burst of flavour, lemongrass, which adds a floral-citrus undertone. The sharpness of the lime juice and the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes counteract the richness of the coconut milk. This fragrant and creamy pasta recipe is perfect for a weekday meal and even for a party.
