Prawns Masala

Actually prawns (shrimps) taste best with least masala(spices). Prawns can be made in so many ways- fried, sautéed, baked, curried, pickled and so on. The prawns masala recipe that I am sharing tastes good with roti, chapattis and rice as well.

Ingredients

Prawns – 200 gms

Onions- 2 medium sized

Tomatoes – 2 medium sized

Garlic- 8-10 cloves

Ginger – 1 inch piece

Corinader – 4-5 sprigs

Fresh grated coconut – 2 tablespoons

Oil- 2-3 tablespoons

Turmeric – ½ teaspoon

Red chilly Powder – 1 teaspoon

Cumin Powder – ½ teaspoon

Coriander Powder – ½ teaspoon

 Water – 2 cups

Salt – To Taste

Method

Clean prawns by removing shells and deveining. Wash and set aside. Cut onions and tomatoes and grind them with garlic, ginger, coriander and fresh coconut to form a smooth paste. Heat oil in a pan and add the masala paste and fry well till oil nearly separates. Now add cleaned prawns, turmeric powder, salt, red chilly powder, cumin and coriander powder and stir well for about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups water and allow the prawns to cook for about 8-10 minutes. Prawns Masala is done and ready to be served.

Note

Prawns are cooked very fast. Take care not to overcook prawns.

Also some individuals have severe shellfish allergies, so please be aware.
