Buttered prawns with salted egg

Ingredients:
60 g butter
2 tablespoons cooking oil

3 shallots, peeled and chopped

6-8 birds eye chillies, sliced

3 sprigs curry leaves

3 salted egg yolks, mashed with a fork

500g fresh medium sized prawns, deveined, leaving skin intact

½ teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt to taste
