A simple stir fry that tastes delicious especially with chapati.Kolumbi che BhujNe
Prawns curry
Ingredients
1 lb shrimp/prawns, peeled & deveined
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp malvani masala
1/2 tsp salt
Grind to paste
1" ginger
2 garlic cloves
1 or 2 green chilies (adjust per your preference)
Tempering
1 tbsp oil
2 onions, chopped finely
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
Also,
3-4 kokums, rinsed
salt
1/4 cup cilantro/coriander leaves, chopped
2 tbsp fresh coconut
Method
1. Marinate cleaned shrimp/prawns with turmeric powder, salt, malvani masala and ground ginger-garlic-chili paste. Set aside for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Heat oil in a saucepan or kadai. Add chopped onions & garlic. Saute till the onion gets soft. Do not let it burn.
3. Now add the marinated shrimp/prawns and 2 tbsp water. Adjust salt. Add kokums.
4. Saute till the shrimp/prawns are cooked and masala clings to them.
5. Stir in cilantro and coconut. Saute for 2 more minutes. Switch off the gas.
6. Serve along with chapatis or rice bhakri.
Note -
1. If you do not have malvani masala, use chili powder & a generous pinch of garam masala.
2. Chopped onions approximately measure about 1 cup. As onion sizes differ from place to place, I thought chopped onions is a better measure than just mentioning 2 onions!:-D

YAY! Another Shrimp recipe for me. Looks so good. I wasnt sure if Shrimps and the Prawns were the same thing, I guess they are. I have to learn a lot about seafood yet!:)
Have a great weekend. I am still reading that book.
Gandhi's stuff is going back to India. Hurray and Anoop is back too! Hurray! ;D

Technically, prawns and shrimp are not same. but I guess, in cooking world, they can be interchanged. I haven't really seen prawns in US. I have always seen shrimp. So that's what I use for everything that calls for prawns. Initially, I used to find the taste was different but now I guess my tastebuds are getting used to shrimp pretty well. :-D
Thanks for telling me about the book. I checked in the library but it wasn't available. I will wait for your review. sounds intersting.
