Prawn Curry – Goa
Description
Goan prawn curry is a popular, flavorful seafood curry that showcases the unique blend of Indian and Portuguese culinary traditions. Rich, creamy, tangy, with the natural sweetness of the prawns and a perfect balance of spices.
Ingredients:
For the ground spice mix:
Instructions
-
Clean, de-vein and shell the prawns, keeping the only the tail intact (optional). This is for presentation purposes.
-
Marinate the prawns with 1/4 tsp of the turmeric powder and 1/2 tsp salt – briefly.
-
Add the coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds and green cardamom to a small pan and just heat through, while stirring. Add the dried chillies and toss to heat through. They must not change dark in colour.
-
Add these dry-roasted spices to a spice mixer or small grinder – and grind to a fine powder. Set aside.
-
Heat oil in the earthenware or a non-stick pot, if that’s what you have. Add the sliced shallots, green chilli, ginger juliennes and curry leaves.
-
Saute till nice and fragrant and the ginger has lost its raw aroma. The shallots should have softened and changed slightly in colour but should not be brown.
-
Now, add the marinated prawns and fry along with the sauteed ingredients for 1/2 – 1 minute.
-
Next, add the ground spice mix and stir for 1/2 – 1 minute again. You can really smell the gorgeous, robust spice mix within a minute.
-
Now add the freshly pressed coconut milk ( it should be at room temperature). Stir and bring to a simmer.
-
Add the remaining 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and salt to taste. Also, add 2 Tbsp tamarind.
-
Simmer the curry, uncovered for 5-8 minutes till the prawns are tender.
-
Serve hot over plain white rice!
