Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 inch Ginger
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1 Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 150 milliliters Water
Instructions
Clean and devein the prawns thoroughly. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic cloves, and ginger. Puree the tomatoes in a blender or food processor.
Heat olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the ginger and garlic, and sauté for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the pureed tomatoes and chopped green chili to the pan. Cook until the mixture becomes thick and the oil separates from the masala, about 10 minutes.
Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the water and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to merge.
Add the prawns to the pan, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the prawns are fully cooked and tender.
Remove the lid and sprinkle garam masala over the prawn masala. Stir gently and cook for an additional minute.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with cooked rice or flatbread of your choice.
