Point in check
To take the prawn oil, I used a specific strainer. Adjust the taste after blending the curry and the prawn oil. Make sure not to add too much Cayenne Pepper, and add them starting with a small amount. It is possible to add the prawn at the end to make sure not to overcook. Taste the curry frequently, that it is not going to be too hot.
This time, I did not add yogurt but did not make sure it will become hot either. I used prawn only this time. The prawn oil adjusted the balance.
Personal Comments
Although it was not easy to adjust the balance with the spices and the prawn oil. the curry was not too hot. Even without yogurt, coconut milk and fresh cream made it mild to taste. There was a struggle adjusting the taste. I chose the curry to be mild instead of hot this time. I only used prawn and did not add anything else. I made sure not to overcook or scorch the base made from tomato, garlic, and onion, too.
