Heat oil and cook the sambal paste in a low heat. Cook until the sambal is fragrant. Then add the slice onions. Give it a quick stir and mix in the tamarind mixture and season with sugar and salt.

Add the prawns into the sambal mixture and cook until the prawns are cooked. Serve immediately or at a room temperature.
