For the gravy
Grind coconut to form a very smooth paste. Heat oil in a fry pan. Add chopped onions, curry leaves and saute till onions turn pink. Add coriander powder, fennel seed powder, green chillies and saute. Add coconut paste and some water as desired. Add the clams meat. Add salt to taste and turmeric powder. Add tamarind. Cook on a slow flame with lid on the frying pan.
