Ingredients:
2 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 sprig curry leaves
1 green chili
1 onion, chopped
2-inch piece of ginger, chopped
4-6 cloves of garlic, minced
13 oz coconut milk
½ cup of crushed tomatoes
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 ½ Tbsp mild curry paste (i.e. Patak’s curry paste)
1 tsp fish masala powder (can be found in Indian grocery stores)
1 tsp salt to curry
½ tsp salt to season shrimp
½ tsp black pepper to season shrimp
½ tsp cumin powder
1 Tbsp coriander powder
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garam masala
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
Cilantro for garnish
Olive enough to coat the pot
Directions:
· Preheat a heavy bottom pot such as a Dutch oven to medium/high heat. Add olive oil enough to coat the bottom of the pot.
· Add mustard seeds and fennel seeds to the sizzling oil and put the lid on the pot to avoid splattering as the mustard seeds pop.
· Add onions, ginger, garlic, green chili, and curry leaves to the oil and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes.
· Add the spice mixture to medium/low heat and thoroughly combine with the onion mixture until the spices are incorporated. The raw smell of the spices should mellow out.
· Add the chopped tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and curry paste and combine uniformly. Raise the heat to medium. The tomatoes will break down and form the base.
· Add the coconut milk, 1 tsp of salt, and mix. Add ½ tsp of salt and black pepper to season the shrimp.
· When the curry is boiling, add shrimp in batches, gently nestling the shrimp into the curry. Avoid splattering by doing this in batches.
· Cook the shrimp for 10-12 minutes, stirring gently. Halfway through the cook time, check on the curry and gently stir. Add very little water if necessary. I didn’t add any extra water.
· Garnish with chopped cilantro once cooking is complete.
Serve hot with Rice and a side dish and Enjoy every bite! :)
