Viewed: 16 - Published at: a year agoIngredients
- 1 pound large prawns (about 25-30)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons mustard/canola oil
- 4 green cardamoms
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 cup onions, very finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon ghee
Method
- Add turmeric and salt to the prawns and mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Heat mustard oil (or canola oil) in a pan, add the prawns and saute for 2-3 minutes. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- To the same oil, add cardamoms, cinnamon, bay leaf, cumin seeds, and ginger paste (add some extra oil if necessary).
- As soon as they start spluttering, add onions. Saute the onions over medium to low heat until soft and golden.
- Add the chopped green chilies, mustard powder, and turmeric. Add a little bit of water and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the onions completely melt.
- Add coconut milk and bring to a boil.
- Add salt and sugar. Give it a taste to check for seasonings.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until oil separates, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the fried prawns, bring the pot to a boil, and finish with ghee. Serve with steamed white rice.
