Instructions
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the coriander seeds for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and grind to a powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
In a large pan or skillet, heat the vegetable or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a chunky sauce.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked through.
Stir in the fresh coriander leaves and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice, garnishing with additional coriander leaves, if desired.
