Akshaye Khanna's Prawn Paatiyo

When I look at my collection of recipes from Filmfare, I look back at my own life at that time. I can't tell whether I was more crazy about Bollywood or about collecting the recipes!!:-D

Prawns Paatiyo
Prawns Curry from filmfare online
Ingredients
500 gm jumbo prawns, cleaned, deveined
9 flakes garlic, paste
4 red chili peppers, ground
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
3/4 tsp cumin seeds
4 onions, chopped

1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
1 tsp tamarind paste/pulp
1 tbsp jaggery or brown sugar
2 tbsp oil

salt to taste


Method
1. Heat oil in a pan. Add onion. saute till golden brown.
2. Add pepper paste, garlic, turmeric powder, cumin seeds. Fry for 2 minutes.
3. Add prawns, coriander leaves, salt. Fry well.
4. Add little water, cover and cook till done.

Supriya:
Thanks so much.

Shaikh:
It's quite possible this is not the authentic dish. As I have mentioned, I have followed the recipe from Filmfare which is not known for cooking after all!!:-D
If you like, you can certainly add garam masala or better yet, some dhansak masala for the authentic flavor. Enjoy!

Maya:
Thanks. sorry to hear about the picture not being uploaded. Hope you read my email. If you like, you can still post it on your blog. I will need a few days to post the roundup. I can certainly include it in the roundup.
