Ingredients

  • 1.5 Cups Fresh Coriander with stem
  • 2 Green Chillies(or as per your preference)
  • 6 Medium sized Garlic cloves
  • 1 inch piece of Ginger (or you can add 1.5 Tspn Gingergarlic paste if you wish)
  • ½ Tspn Turmeric Powder
  • ½ Tspn Dry CorianderSeeds

  • ½ Small Tomato(optional)
  • ½ Small Onion (roughly diced)
  • 2 Tspn Vinegar or Tamarind Pulp
  • ½ Tspn Sugar or 1 Tspn Jaggery
  • 1 Tbspn Water for grinding (only if required)

Instructions

  • Transfer all the ingredients into a small(dry) mixer jar
  • Using water little by little, Grind all the ingredients into a smooth fine paste.
    Note: If you add all the water at once, the spices won’t break down completely and the Masala will remain coarse.
     
  • Once the Masala is ready, you can use it immediately or If you wish to store it, transfer the Masala into a dry Airtight container and wait until it completely cools and comes to room temperature and only then put the lid on
    Note: As soon as you grind masala in a mixer jar, it remains slightly hot/warm due the pressure and speed of the grinder. After transferring the Masala into the jar/container, If you close the jar/container when the masala is hot or even slightly warm, there is a high chance that the masala get spoilt faster due to the heat. Hence, let it come down to room temperature and only then close the lid tight
    Place the container/jar into the Deep Freezer and you can store it for Maximum 1month.

    • 2 inch Ginger
    • 8 gms Tamarind
    • 1 tspn Turmeric powder
    • 1/2 tspn Sugar (optional)
    • 1/4 cup Water (for grinding)

    Instructions

    Procedure for Making the Masala(curry paste)

    • In a mixer grinder, add all the ingredients mentioned under the "Masala" section
      Note:-
      Do not add all the water at once. Add a little first and check if more is required. only then add it
      Rotate the grinder until a thick fine paste is formed
    • Once you've achieved the thick fine consistency, the masala is ready. Keep it aside

    Method for making the Curry

    • In a vessel, heat 2 tbspn oil on medium high flame
    • Once the oil is hot, add the chopped Onion and tomato, slit chillies and solam(kokum) and stir well
    • Once the onions turn golden, add the Prawns and stir well
    • Let the Prawns saute for about 3-4 minutes and then add the masala that you've just ground, the maggi cube(if adding)
    • Add 1 cup water into the mixer that we used for grinding the masala and shake it well so that all the left over masala is mixed with the water(We don't waste anything, you see....hehehe!!)
    • Add this water into the vessel, give it a nice stir and cover the vessel with a lid
    • As soon as the curry starts boiling, add the Vegetable at this stage(if using)
    • Let the curry boil on medium flame with the vessel covered with a lid, till the vegetable is cooked
      Note:-
      If you're not using any vegetable, allow the curry to boil for 10 minutes
    • Check for salt or sugar. If required, add it at this stage. If you like your curry tangy, take some tamarind, add hot water to it and add some tamarind pulp to the curry and mix well
    • Note:-
      If you like your curry thick or thin, adjust the quantity of water accordingly
    • Enjoy this simple yet super delicious Goan Prawn curry with some Hot Steamed Rice 🙂 🙂
