Method for Prawn Puri:-  Put atta flour into a bowl with ghee, salt.  Rub ghee into atta flour until it ressembles fine breadcrumbs.  Take 1oz of the prawns and chop finely and add to the atta and ghee mixture.  Mix with enough water to make a dough (not too wet!)   Knead dough for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover dough and let stand.  While dough is resting you can make the puree topping.  Fry garlic and mustard seeds in oil until garlic begins to soften.  Add remaining prawns, tomato puree and all the spices and cook on for a further 2 to 3 minutes on a medium heat.  PUREES   Knead the dough for a couple of minutes and then divide into 6 - 8 equal pieces.  Roll out into 3 to 4 inch rounds.  Deep fry puri, one at a time, for roughly one minute. turning over once during the process.  You will find that the puri will puff out!  Serve with prawns on top sprinkleld with freshly chopped coriander and a wedge of lemon.
Fresh chillies can be added finely chopped if required at the beginning of making the topping.

Pat chapmans New Curry Bible has an excellent recipe for Prawn puree, its as good as my local. Only downside is you need to get hold of prawn ballichow, not something your local Tesco's is going to stock!
