- 2 cup coconut milk
- 1 onion chopped fine
- 1 tsp. ginger garlic paste or minced
- 4 green chillies slit
- 1 tsp. kashmiri red chilli powder or paprika
- 1 tbsp. kokum juice or tamarind paste
- ½ tsp. turmeric powder
- 2 tsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- ½ tsp. black pepper powder
- 1 tsp. cumin powder
- salt to taste
Garnish
- 1 tsp. cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Clean, devein and shell the shrimp. I normally keep the tails intact. Now apply some salt and turmeric powder and keep aside for 10 minutes.
- To make the curry, heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions. Fry till translucent.
- Add cumin powder, coriander powder, kashmiri red chilli powder, black pepper powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt to coconut milk.
- Add spicy coconut milk to the fried onions. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Now add the shrimp along with kokum juice and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes on low flame.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve tangy and spicy Goan Prawn curry hot with split green chillies.
Notes
- To make kokum juice, immerse 3-4 kokum pieces in warm water for about 10-15 minutes. If you can't find kokum use tamarind paste or vinegar in its place.
- Don't overcook the prawns or they become rubbery.
- You can add ½ cup of coconut paste to the onions to make a thicker gravy.
- Adjust the heat and spice as per your taste. This recipe is spicy.
