Prawn Malai Curry

Lipi Kapoor

This one is Vini's mothers recipe.

Ingredients
1 kgPrawn - ( shell and devein and then add turmeric and salt and set aside. REMEMBER TO WASH OFF TURMERIC AND SALT BEFORE COOKING!)
50gms Ginger
4-5 medium onions
1 packet of Dabur Coconut Milk Tetrapack - if small then two (100ml)
6 small Cardamom
2 1" pieces of Cinamon
1-2 Tej Patta / Bay leaves
1/2 tsp of Sugar
Salt, Turmeric, Chilli Powder to taste


Method
1. Par boil the prawns in salted water ( put in boiling water for less than two minutes)
2. Drain completely in a colander
3. Saute the prawns in a little bit of oil for a few seconds. Remove prawns and reserve excess oil if any.
4. Reheat oil adding more if necessary. Add the cardamom, cinamon and bay leaves to this oil
5. Add the ground onion/ginger paste. Add the turmeric, red chilli powder, salt and sugar and cook till the paste looks golden 3-5 minutes. If the masala looks dry and sticks to the kadai/wok, keep adding a little bit of coconut milk or water to avoid the masala burning.
6. Add the prawns and mix.
7. Add coconut milk and cover and cook for 3-5 minutes.
8. Just before serving make a tadka of a pinch of ground methi seeds and add to the top of the curry.

Hi,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Rasbhara Recipes’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)

Cheers,
