You seem to have set out the recipe? But not Indian!! My Wife likes that one.
Can only refer you to the
real thing
-
mamta's kitchen.

Interesting site
I also like this mammoth site for indian food. I learn a couple of good cooking tips from these recipes.

Without saying that
Indianfood
is not a personal site, Mamta's is - she is a retired Pharmacist with a very real Indian family.
Good luck!
And while here - may I mention
Pappadums/Papads
? All that I've had in 'Indian' restaurants have been small dried up microwaved (for convenience) things with a rather bitter taste.
May I urge you to try
Lijjats
- in various flavours - &, although they say cook any way, truly the best are fried 3-4 secs on each side in 1/8in oil - turn with tongs - & then stacked vertically to drain dry.
A different kettle of fish!

All depends? Not a lot different from any other. But what sort of flavour do you like? Just thoughts.......
1. Fish - cut thick - needs only 10 min, basted, on top of the sauce.
Cooked
Prawns only need to marinade & heat through.
2. As a sauce, I like Galangal, Turmeric, Coconut milk, Cashews, Chillies, Lime or Lemon, Cherry Tomatoes, Shallots.
3. I prefer Tiger Prawns (from an approved supplier), cut to size if you like, rather than shrivelled Atlantic ones.
Emmy - remember that Papads & Poppadums are one & the same? Although some sites give them different treatment!

Just a thought - I feel that 'authenticity' often boils down to :
1. Indian - asafoetida.
2. English - fenugreek.
