Leeds… this isn’t your average prawn curry.
At Kerala Canteen, we take seafood seriously. No heavy cream drowning flavour. No generic takeaway sauces hiding weak ingredients. Just bold South Indian cooking built around spice, balance, and proper technique.
Introducing our KING PRAWN & COURGETTE MASALA — tail-on king prawns tossed through a rich spiced onion tomato masala with charred courgettes, curry leaves, and deep Kerala flavours that hit from the very first bite.
This is modern South Indian dining in Leeds city centre done properly.
Why This South Indian Seafood Dish Is Different
There are plenty of Indian restaurants in Leeds city centre. Very few specialise in South Indian seafood with the level of detail and balance you’ll find at Kerala Canteen.
Our King Prawn & Courgette Masala is designed to bring together:
- Smoky charred courgettes
- Sweet tail-on king prawns
- Spiced onion tomato masala
- Fragrant curry leaves
- Rich Kerala-inspired depth without heaviness
The result is bold, layered flavour that feels vibrant rather than overpowering.
This isn’t a generic curry-house seafood dish.
It’s a chef-led South Indian plate created for people who genuinely love flavour.
