Place the marinade ingredients in a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag. Add the shrimp, toss to coat and refrigerate.
2.
Set the water next to the stovetop. Heat the oil with the curry leaves and chiles in a medium pot over medium-high heat until the curry leaves start to sizzle, about 1 to 2 minutes.
3.
Add the pepper and cook for 1 minute longer. Stir in the ginger, onions and salt, and cook, stirring often, until the onions are browned, about 8 minutes, sprinkling with water whenever the onions and ginger begin to stick to the bottom of the pot.
4.
Add the desiccated coconut and cook for 1-2 minutes till golden brown. Add garlic, coriander and turmeric and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
5.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the tomatoes to pot.
6.
Cook, stirring and scraping browned bits up from the sides and bottom of the pot, for 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often.
7.
Stir in the sambhar or curry powder and cook for 1 minute, and then pour in the coconut milk and water.
8.
Bring to a boil and add the shrimp and any accumulated juices. Bring to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are curled and opaque, about 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro and serve.
