Hi All
I am sharing this recipe with you all as I won my man's heart by this recipe. I beleive in the saying " you can win a man's heart through his stomach". Since this is my first post would like to start with this special recipe.
Ingredients
Prawns : 500gms
Onions : 1medium sized
Garlic Paste : 1 tsp
Ginger Paste : 1/2 tsp
Roasted Cumin Powder : 3/4th tsp
Tomato : 2 medium size
Turmeric : 1/2 tsp
Red Chilli Powder : 1 tsp ( or as per your taste)
Sugar : 1/2 tsp
Salt : as per taste
Garam Masala : 1/2 tsp
Oil : 2-3tbsp
Whole Cumin : 1/2 tsp
Method
Clean the prawns and devien them.
Chop onion into small pieces.
In a kadai/wok heat the oil and once the oil is heated add the whole cumin and let it crackle ...add the onions and let it turn slightly brown. I must say the smell is awesome...
Now add the garlic and ginger paste and fry for sometime now add turmeric powder,red chilli powder, cumin powder, salt,sugar and garam masala . while adding these please put your flame on low otherwise it might burn. Since all the ingredients are dry,add the tomato paste. Cover the wok/kadai .let it simmer for sometime. Stir in between, add water if required but few teaspoon only... cover again. You will see oil flaoting on the masala (gravy being cooked), add the prawns now and put the flame on high .(Add water as per your requirement but not too much . Otherwise the gravy will become bland.) Stir the prawns in the gravy continuosly and once they curl and turn opaque swith the heat off and cover it for 5-10 mins. This is the standing time and the half cooked prawns will cook in the standing heat. Serve it hot but DO NOT garnish it with coriander as this is very standard Indian style...and it does not go with all dishes... Instead you can slit a green chilli and garnish with the same.
This can be eaten with bread, roti, chappati, Paratha or rice
Enjoy cooking over the weekend and win someone's heart!!!
Love Arpita
