Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 cup Tomato puree
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 whole Lime (for squeezing on top before serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Stir in the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions turn golden and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook the spices for 1 minute to toast them and release their flavors.
Pour in the tomato puree and cook for 5 minutes, letting the mixture thicken slightly.
Add the coconut milk, sour cream, salt, and sugar, stirring well to create a creamy curry base. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the curry and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender.
Taste the curry and adjust the salt or spices as needed.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
