prawns
🥗Healthier: tofu
💰Cheaper: canned tuna
Tofu offers a plant-based option, while canned tuna is budget-friendly.
fish sauce
🥗Healthier: soy sauce
💰Cheaper: salted anchovies
Soy sauce is a lower-sodium alternative, and anchovies provide a similar umami flavor.
sugar
🥗Healthier: honey
💰Cheaper: agave syrup
Honey adds natural sweetness, while agave is often less expensive.
mint leaves
🥗Healthier: basil
💰Cheaper: dried mint
Basil provides a different but complementary flavor, and dried mint is more economical.
Prepare the dressing by sautéing garlic and onions for about one minute on high flame.
Add tamarind pulp soaked in hot water, palm sugar, coriander root, and chicken seasoning to the sautéed mixture.
Cook the dressing for about five minutes until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Add a tablespoon of fish sauce to the dressing and strain it once thickened.
Boil the prawns in salted water for about five minutes until cooked, then cool them down.
In a bowl, layer the pomelo first to soak up the juices, followed by grated coconut and crushed peanuts.
Add boiled prawns, fresh mint leaves, and coriander leaves on top.
Mix in the dressing, adjusting to taste as it can be strong.
Garnish with pomegranate seeds and lime before serving.
