Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams prawns (shelled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
- 1 green chili (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2 medium tomatoes (chopped)
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Start by preparing the prawns; ensure they are washed, shelled, and deveined. Set aside.
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium flame and add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle and become fragrant.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Mix in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili, continuing to sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Cook the spices for a minute allowing the raw smell to disappear.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they turn soft and the oil starts separating from the mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Adjust the salt to taste at this stage.
Add the prepared prawns to the pan and stir gently to coat them in the masala. Allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Finish by stirring in the lemon juice and garnish the dish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve the Whole30 Prawn Masala hot, alongside cauliflower rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
