Background

This dish is very easy, simple and very tasty. I got this recipe from my mom and it was frequently prepared at home, especially on a Sunday, when I was a child. It tastes very good with steamed rice.

Ingredients

½ kg raw prawns
2 Tbsp Oil
3 Onions (medium, chopped finely)
3 Green chillies (Chopped finely)
1 Tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 pinch turmeric
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
Salt as required
A sprig of coriander leaves chopped
1 tsp oil

Instructions

Heat a pan with 1 tsp oil and add prawns to it with a pinch of turmeric and salt.
Let the prawns cook until the water from them comes out and evaporates. Keep these cooked prawns aside.
Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a deep bottomed pan. Add the onions and green chillies and cook until the onions are brown.
To this add all the spices except for the garam masala and cook until the oil oozes out on the sides.
Add the garam masala in the end.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
