Background

I first ate ginger prawns at an Indo-Chinese restaurant in India when I was very little. I can never forget the taste of it - it still lingers in my mouth! So, keeping in mind all those flavours, I have tried to recreate the dish as I remember it. It turned out pretty close to the same taste as the restaurant one. It is very easy to make and tastes great!

Ingredients

300g Raw king prawns (De-shelled and de-veined)
2 Large onions
1 Green chilli, chopped
1 Tbsp Ginger, grated
2 tsp Garlic, grated
1 Tbsp Soya sauce
1 Tbsp Chilli sauce
½ Tbsp Tomato ketchup
1 tsp Sugar
Salt to taste
2 Tbsp Oil
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Dry red chilli powder
1 tsp Garam masala powder
Coriander leaves for garnishing

Instructions

Roughly chop onions and grind them.
In a pan, fry the prawns with turmeric and salt until they are cooked. Remove and set them aside.
In the same pan, heat the oil and add the ground onions and fry them until all the rawness is gone and they become brown.
Add the ginger and garlic and fry for a minute taking care not to burn.
Add the chilli powder, garam masala powder, green chilli, soya sauce, chilli sauce, sugar and tomato ketchup and mix. Fry all this for a couple of minutes.
Add the cooked prawns and salt and mix.
Garnish with coriander leaves.
