Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
- 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 whole fresh lime (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they start to sizzle and become fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the chopped onion and cook until golden brown, around 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Mix in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion mixture.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they soften and break down into a sauce, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, approximately 3-5 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.
Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and give it a final stir.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Serve hot with steamed basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
