Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and cook until soft and golden, about 6 minutes.

Step 3
Pour in the 200 ml heavy cream and 1 tsp salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer, about 2 minutes.

Add the 500 g prawns in a single layer. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Garnish with the 2 tbsp chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.
