Method

1
Toast cumin seeds, black peppercorns, and coriander seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then grind to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.
2
Char the jalapeño chiles, seasoning peppers, and bell peppers directly over an open flame or under a hot broiler until blackened on all sides, then place in a covered bowl to steam for 5 minutes.
3
Peel the charred peppers under cool running water, removing the skin and seeds, then slice into large pieces.
4
Combine the peeled charred peppers, pan-roasted garlic cloves, cilantro root sections, ginger knuckle (peeled and chopped), mango pulp, ground spice mixture, oregano, soy sauce, and lime peel in a blender until smooth and paste-like.
5
Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
6
Add the curry paste to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the raw garlic aroma mellows and the paste darkens slightly.

Add the prawns to the paste and stir well to coat each one evenly with the curry mixture.
