Marinate the Prawns:
- In a bowl, combine the prawns with lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, black pepper powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the prawns evenly.
- Let the prawns marinate for at least 15-20 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
Cook the Prawns:
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add chopped onions (if using) and sauté until golden brown.
- Add the marinated prawns and slit green chilies (if using). Spread them evenly in the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
- Garnish and Serve:
  - Sprinkle fresh coriander leaves over the prawns.
  - Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

Adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
For a richer flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of curry leaves while cooking.
Ensure the prawns are fresh for the best taste and texture.
