Prawn Malai Curry

A quick prawn recipe, for shellfish lovers! I have used coconut milk in this recipe, but if you are not a huge coconut lover, or do not want that flavour, just substitute the coconut milk with single or double cream!!

Ingredients:

400g King Prawns, washed with turmeric and salt
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
Pinch fennel seeds
2 bay leaves
1 and 1/2 medium onions pureed
5 cloves garlic and 1/2 inch ginger, pureed
Salt to taste
3 tbsp chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp mustard sauce
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 can coconut milk
Drizzle of ghee
1/2 tsp garam masala
Chopped coriander and chillies (optional) to garnish

Firstly peel your prawns, then wash with a pinch of salt and turmeric.

In a karahi, take your oil and add your cumin seeds, fennel seeds and bay leaves and fry for 30 seconds. Add your pureed onions and stir fry for 3 - 4 minutes. Then add your garlic and ginger puree and fry for another 3 minutes until raw taste goes. Add salt to taste, then add your tomatoes and cook for a further 4 - 5 minutes until tomatoes soften and oil separates. Then add your mustard sauce, turmeric powder and chilli powder and a little water and stir well. Cook for a further 5 minutes until mix comes away from the sides of the pan.

Then add your washed prawns and mix and cook on low heat for about 5 - 7 minutes until almost fully cooked. Add your coconut milk and stir very well. Cook on high flame for further 2 - 3 minutes, then pour a drizzle of ghee to finish off, and a pinch of garam masala powder. Turn the heat off and garnish with coriander and chillies.

Serve with plain basmati rice!

Hope you enjoy!
