Total time
Ingredients (240 ml cup used)
- 250 grams of prawns / royyalu
- 2 medium sized onions chopped finely
- 1 green chili slit or chopped
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- ¼ tsp cumin / jeera
- Salt to taste
- Generous Pinch of turmeric
- ½ tsp. ginger garlic paste, + ½ tsp. for marination
- ¼ tsp red chili powder, + ¼ tsp. for marination
- 1 tbsp. Lemon juice (adjust to suit your taste)
- 1 tsp. garam masala powder
- Coriander leaves few for garnishing
- 1 ½ tbsp. oil (adjust to suit your taste)
How to make the recipe
-
Clean and wash prawns. Drain water thoroughly, marinate with ½ tsp. ginger garlic paste, ¼ tsp. red chili powder, little salt and lemon juice. Set this aside till you prepare the rest.
-
Heat a pan with oil, add cumin, and curry leaves and green chili. Sauté till the curry leaves turn crisp
-
Add onions, sprinkle salt and fry till they turn golden, reduce the flame to minimum (sim), continue to fry till they caramelize. Take care not to burn them.
-
Add ginger garlic paste and give a quick stir. Since the onions are already caramelized the ginger garlic can get burnt. Take care
-
Add the marinated prawns and fry for 2 to 3 mins
-
Add the rest of the red chili powder, turmeric and garam masala. Give a good stir and fry for a min
-
Sprinkle some water just enough to bring in some moisture for the prawns to get cooked. I used almost 90 ml water.
-
Cover and cook on a medium flame till they are completely cooked. I understand them to be cooked when they curl up and turn pink or orange. If there is more water left, you can evaporate by cooking further without a lid
-
Garnish with coriander leaves
